The Gulf Coast National Seashore Visitors Center in Navarro, FL, has a full scale reproduction of a cross section of the USS Constitution to illustrate timber use.
These are one cubic foot blocks of wood, yellow pine on the top, white oak in the middle, and live oak on the bottom. You can pull on the ropes to try to lift them to compare the weight (46 lbs for pine, 75 lbs for live oak, I forgot the white oak weight but I think it was 56). The Southern Live Oak is the most dense wood native to North America
