Can someone tell me how much 3000 board feet of air dried cherry would weigh?  I sure would appreciate it. :P

16 ounces per pound. ;D

I would guess between 9,000 and 12,000 lbs
I can change my profile okay. No errors. If you can,t remove all the extra info in other fields and try.

Thanks Jeff.  I assume that air dried means the moisture is about 12 to14 percent.  Friend of mine wanted to know because he's got to find a trailer to haul it.

Charlie,

If you figure 31 lbs./cu.ft. (per Hoadley) at 12% MC, Timber! says 7,750lbs.

There is no need to say 'unleaded regular gas'. It's all unleaded. Just say 'regular gas'. It's not the 70s anymore. (At least that's what my wife tells me.)

According to my NHLA Rule book...Cherry when kiln dried to 8% is 2881 lb/MBF.
