Thread: maths question

assuming that you are using mm in your dimensions, the price per cubic metre would be $133, 333.33

thanks for that a bit exxy i think...bob

Does wood get sold by weight much?

Should I add weight calculations to these wood calculators?

Timbers sold by weight are usually things like Ebony, Lignum Vitae etc

By your scales you are suggesting that huon pine weighs in at 1333 kg per cubic metre this is way over most seasoned pines are in the vicinity of 500 kg even so that is a mighty pricey timber.

I think either your scales or ruler is wrong or your Huon Pine's still very wet

Huon's air dry density is about 520 kg/cu.m
so a piece 50 x 50 x 300 should weigh about 400g and cost about $40 at $100/kg

I bought a 400x75x75 huon pine blank for $30 at the last WWW, so your piece should be a lot less. It should also be a lot less than 1kg.

Edit: Beat me Ian.

maybe mine is still wet but is quite dense bought at strahan this year..and it does weigh 1kg.......bob

just went down to the chemist down the road ,who weighed my peice of huon and it weighs 850 grams,so obviously my scales are not very accurate

even so that only knocks 15% of the cubic metre price!..

Given that appoximately 1300 of those pieces would fit into a cubic metre, that would give a weight greater than 1200kg @ $100 per kg = $120,000.

Believe me, you can't afford it... unless of course, you aren't married...
