Thanks mike. I found that one in my searching, but it is too vague for what i need. i want a breakdown of all of the softwoods. hhmm i know its out there

found it- this is what i was lookign for. for anyone else who needs this, scroll down to page 8 and 9. i dont think you will find a better list of what woods weigh..note how much all the different cedars weigh, as well as the maples.
