Tapersawn #1 cedar shakes

Its weight

The table
No source weighs it
Loose volume
Not known: it counts in the tons aloneNo weight is known, so no volume is derived.
How it was chosen
No source found weighs tapersawn shakes. The nearest sourced figures are 24" cedar shingles at 426 lb a square dry and 18" medium hand-split shakes at 400 lb; until a source is found the figure stays unknown and the estimate should say so.
