Hi guys,
I'm going to be moving to Tennessee this summer, and that means moving my
shop and my "stash" of lumber.

I need an estimate of the weight of the lumber to determine if my trailer
will carry it.

The bulk of the wood is cherry, with a fair amount of walnut and a lesser
amount of aromatic cedar.
The gross dimensions of the pile are 7' wide by 12' long by 4'10" high.


That would be 11.5 m^3

With a *light* wood this is 6 tons, cherry is even heavier...
