Heya guys..
Quick question, i found myslef a nice peice of drift wood at the beach (ocean), it was throughly soaked, i assume, and then throughly dried. I took it home and tossed it, weighted down with stones, in a tub of water. After a week, i checked and it still floated. So i figured that id drill out the core. The water volume increase as a bonus. All hollowed out i tossed it back in the water for more then 3 weeks now. It's still floating up. Can all wood become sinkable, or only certains. When i drilled it out. I found quite a bit of dry powder/dust/ chips, red in color. Im not sure what kind of wood it it but its quite hard, and a distinct red color.
Any ideas?
