According to Bootle's "Wood in Australia", air dried maple from Canada
weighs in at 740kg/cubic metre, and from USA at 730kg/cubic metre.
"What kind of units are they!!??" I hear you saying. Shuffle the decimal

More'n one, and it sinks in water. You *could* calculate it out to around
46lb/ft3, but why bother? (:
And Joe tells us why he wants to know....

Hang on a tick - this stuff is saturated with dried bloo.... glue, fat,
bone, and all sorts of "other" matter. All the previous data was for
