Hi John, According to my inherited 1941 Machinery's Handbook list of "Average SG of Woods (Dry)": Weight per cubic SG inch (pounds) Live Oak: 1.15 0.042 Red Oak: 0.75 0.027 White Oak: 0.80 0.029 Hope this helps, though these figures are supposed to be for dry wood, so I'm not sure what "live oak" is.

If it's from Machinery's Handbook, they could well refer to N. American species ??? Not sure if they're the same as European Oaks. Silky Oak is a eucalyptus .... IIRC .. :scratch: Long time since I did any wood butchering BC |

To add to the confusion, Selly Oak is where I spent 3 years at university in Birmingham. :) Andy. |

Hi Had a bit google came up with this SG of birch ply is 0.67 Pattern weighs 2.2 Kg Formula is Weight / SG = Volume 2.2 / 0.67 =1.474 Litres i assume I can melt 3 litres so it should not be a problem :Doh: :Doh: :Doh: :Doh: John |
