Best Answer

The answer depends on the moisture content. An "average" weight of a board foot of Douglas-fir, which is not one specific tree but one of about a dozen different trees, is about 2.8 to 2.9 pounds per board foot. You could make a quick calculation based on that. And don't forget that a "2 x 4" is not really 2" by 4" in size. Dimensional lumber can be notoriously tricky to pin down. There is a shrinkage factor, too, darn it. The "real" size of a 2 x 4 is about 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 (and please don't split hairs here) from the lumber yard. In that case, a foot of this material weighs in at between 2.8 and 2.9 pounds, give or take.
