I am having a bunch of white pine (eastern) sawed out.  What do you think it will weigh per bf?  I've read between 2 & 3 lbs, but that's a big range. If you have any knowledge,pls let me know.

I,ve got a green log chart that says 36lbs per cubic foot so a 1x12x12 would weigh 36lbs if my math is right...

Hi Tom, With much respect, not trying to sound smart, why do you want to know? I have never wonder what pine would weigh a board foot, so I might learn something here. I mill A LOT of Pine. The first thing I thought of you may be shipping your wood on a tractor trailer.

Thanks.

Bo, one little mistake. A12x12x12 would weigh 36lb.  A 1x12x12 would weigh 3lb.
