Hey Captain Crunch, according to this site http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/wood-density-d_40.html
Juniper is listed at 35 lbs per cubic foot.  So for a cord (128 cu. ft), it figures out to 4,480 lbs. I would figure a factor of x2 1/3 for weight per mbf--or about 10,453 lbs per Mbf.  Having never delt with Juniper other than cussing it, that is about all I can figure.

I would try a western red cedar calculator for juniper.

Thanks Guys.
The ones the Kids brought back are not very big so won't get much out of em But My Wife is determined to have a bench made out of Juniper cants so you know the rest of the story.
Never Let Wife go into the stores in Sisters Oregon. They have some real neat furniture made out ot it(price also rivels Gold)

I get over to the family ranch over in the Fossil, Spray, and Condon area from time to time and it just helps with traction to haul a load of Juniper back over the mountains.
What size truck are you taking over the mountain?
