That would be about 1.5 density, never heard of a wood that dense, are you sure it weighs 3#? Steve

Another way of looking at it is that would calculate to 96 lbs per cubic foot.  Osage is around 56 or so I think.

Maybe someone can double check my figures.
water 64# cubic foot
1728 cu" to  cubic foot.
3X9X2= 54cu inches    1728/54 =1/32 of a cubic foot
32X3#=96#/64#=1.5

You are right on steve.  Desert Iron wood is about 1.2 or so.
