Cedar can vary 150 grains or more per shaft even with the same spine and diameter.  So it would be difficult to guess.  You could build a simple balance beam and use coins for weight to come close.  You can google coin weights   ;)   ...Van

That blue thing on the base is a 1 ounce shot gun slug (437 grains) so you don't have to use so many coins..
