About
Wood is a fibrous plant material that typically weighs about 5.4 ounces per cup (154 grams).
Typical wood has an average bulk density of about 40.6 pounds per cubic foot (0.65 grams per milliliter). Because it is less dense than water, most common cuts of dry lumber float easily. Dense hardwoods like oak weigh more per volume, while lighter softwoods like pine occupy more space for the same mass. Compared to mineral materials like stone or concrete, wood takes up roughly three to four times as much space for an equivalent weight.
From Wikipedia
Wood is a natural, lignocellulosic material derived primarily from the secondary xylem of trees and other woody plants, where it provides mechanical support and in the functional sapwood, conducts water and dissolved minerals. Being a natural material, it is characterized as an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin and hemicelluloses that resists compression.

Quick answer
One US cup of typical wood weighs about 5.4 ounces (154 grams). This makes it about one-third lighter than an equal volume of liquid water.
