Ironwood
Ironwood is a common name for many woods that have a reputation for hardness , or specifically a wood density that is denser than water (approximately 1000 kg/m3 , or 62 pounds per cubic foot), although usage of the name ironwood in English may or may not indicate a tree that yields such heavy wood.
