You need to oven dry the samples for hours down to 0% water content if you want to get an accurate reading, that´s why Tim Baker suggested a small narrow sample  - like a 1/2 inch diameter dowel with square sides. I think Tim mentioned 4 hours oven time for a small sample.

Technology seems to have increased the quality and size of a photo within that size. So I found a photosizer thats super easy to use, even easier than the old way. https://www.simpleimageresizer.com/resize-image-to-250-kb

That should do what you need. Images need to be 250kb or less.

Ok I made a white pine 1” cube it weighed.36 so lighter than the black locust. Specific gravity was .45 in the Bible. Here is the float test . Could not get it to float right but more above the water line. Not as dense .

Assuming the dimensions are very close to 1 cubic inch, thays pinr block is .62 sg. Im starting to question the accuracy of that list in the TBB.
