Answer:

Its all relative to the state of the wood

Step-by-step explanation:

Wood is a material that can be corroded and hollowed out either directly by human cause or by that of weather. Eventually this corrosion will make the density of the wood equal or lighter to that of the body of water, allowing it to float.
