As stated there's not enough information to say, but using the source below to get an estimate of the the density of oak wood ( 600 - 900 kg/m^3) and converting to 37.4 - 56.1 lb/ft^3, it possible to estimate it at 4800 - 7200 lbs.

But this was assuming that the 128 ft^3 was solid wood, which is not the case, since cord wood when stacked has air gaps between the pieces of wood. This would mean that the estimate above is high.

A lot depends on how wet or dry the wood is when weighed.
