You read right, Karl. Volume times density equals weight. Black Walnut typically has a density of 45 pounds per cubic foot. A cubic foot equals 1728 cubic inches (12" X 12" 12" = 1728 cubic inches) and a pound equals 16 oz. So, a cubic inch of black walnut is equal to 0.417 ounces ((16 oz per pound X 45 pounds) divided by 1728 cubic inches per cubic foot). A one inch diameter cylinder one inch long has a volume of 0.785 cubic inches. And, 0.785 cubic inches times o.417 ounces per cubic inch equals 0.33 ounces. It takes about 3 inches of one inch diameter hole to equal one ounce. Somebody check my calculations, please.
