A table for log weight by species and demensions.

I think I'll print this and keep it with me in the field.

A calculator for log weight.

ISU forestry have a few good guides on IDing trees in Iowa and surrounding areas here:

http://www.extension.iastate.edu/forestry/iowa_trees/tree_id.html

There are some other guides and methods on the left side of the page in the "Tree Identification" pull down.
They also have a link there to help to ID the type of tree by the wood alone. Although the font they used is horrible and barely readable.
