The wood is a constant thickness and is uniform throughout.  As such if 
I take a piece of the wood that is one foot long and one foot wide 
(thickness does not change) it will weigh 1.25 pounds. How we actually 
get the wood is irrelevant at this point -- we just know that we have 
this wood for making the shipping cubes and that it has this "density".
