I thought everyone knew how to weigh a board? It’s something I learned a good 50 years ago. Not 100% accurate, but close enough.

Step on a bathroom scale and weigh yourself. Make note of the number. Pick up the board in question and stand on the scale with your feet where they were the last time. Subtract the first number from the second one. Simple math, Easy peasy.

Truckers call it a “Tare” weight or “lightweight”.   I can’t get my bath scale to function properly(digital).  I have a hanging scale.  The type that folks used to use to weigh cotton or blue fin tuna.  May give that a try.  Lots of time around the shop tomorrow, so I will figure something out.
