Your information is absolutely true in most wood concerning communities where the woods they deal with are commercially significant. Nearly all of them are lighter than water (scientists like to call it specific gravity or simply mass density). They all float on water. Oak is considered dense or heavy wood. Its mass density is around 0.75. Pine is between 0.3 and 0.5. Standard practice of cutting and shaping these woods are to use saw or standard wood tools.
Grenadilla and ebony probable are the most dense. Mass density around 1.3. They simply do not float on water. Standard wood working tools do not work with these. Instrument manufacturers and repair people use metal working tools to shape these woods.
Mechanical properties of these woods are between "wood" and metal. The higher the density. I just wanted to save you from lots of not necessarily relevant research on oboe cracking issue.
