Oak is generally heavier than locust wood. This is due to the differences in their densities. Oak wood typically has a density ranging from 0.6 to 0.75 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), while locust wood has a density that can vary but is generally lower, around 0.5 to 0.6 g/cm³. The higher density of oak wood contributes to its greater weight compared to locust wood. This information is supported by data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, which provides detailed information on the properties of various wood species. The density of oak wood is influenced by factors such as the type of oak, the region it is sourced from, and the specific growth conditions, but it generally remains heavier than locust wood.
