There is at least one wood that does not float: ironwood. It's only thanks to DF that I know things like this.

- jacobolus 12y ago“Ironwood” is a name used for a whole bunch of different unrelated tree species. I believe lignum vitae is just about the densest commercially available wood. Definitely sinks.
- Natsu 12y agoThe nice thing about the DF raws is that they now list the actual species used as a basis. A lot of research went on some time ago to add correct, sourced information to the raws. There are probably still a few wonky things, as some of the properties in there make more sense for metals than things like wood, but the players care about even strange details like that.
