Specific Gravity
Specific gravity, also known as density, or relative density, is a simple ratio between the weight of a cubic-foot of wood and the weight of a cubic-foot of water, 62.38 lbs. For instance, the typical dried weight of a cubic-foot of Hard Maple is 45 lbs. To calculate specific gravity, divide 45 by 62.38 = .72
