No, ironwood does not float. It is a dense and heavy type of wood that sinks in water.
Some types of dense hardwoods, like ebony or ironwood, are heavy enough that they will not float in water. These woods have a higher density than water, causing them to sink instead of float.
If the density of any material is larger then that of water, the buoyancy force of water will not support that object. ie the object will not float. Also, if an small/large holes are present in the object, they may fill with water to increasing the mass, but not the volume, causing the density to increase. Generally, wood, unless saturated with water, will float. Ebony could be one that doesnt float.
Black ironwood has a high density, typically around 1.2 to 1.3 grams per cubic centimeter, making it a very heavy and dense wood. The high density of black ironwood contributes to its durability and resistance to decay and rot.
The liquid that fits this description is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is heavier than most rocks and can cause wood to float on its surface due to its high density compared to the objects it displaces.
Most types of wood will float when placed in water because of their low density. However, some types of wood, such as ironwood, lignum vitae, and ebony, are denser and can sink in water. These heavier woods are often used for applications where sinking properties are desired, such as in making tool handles or musical instruments.

Ironwood is unusual due to its high density and strength, making it one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world. It is also highly resistant to rot and insects, making it a popular choice for outdoor applications such as decking and tool handles. Additionally, ironwood trees can live for hundreds of years, further contributing to their unique characteristics.

Ironwood is the only one I know of
There are several refrences to "ironwood" trees :The hornbeam tree (Carpinus betulus) or hop-hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia).The "desert ironwood" (Olneya tesota).The Ceylon Ironwood or rose chestnut (Mesua ferrea)The Catalina Ironwood (Lyonothamnus Floribundus ssp. Asplenifolius)In addition, the ebony tree (Diospyros ebenum and Diospyros crassiflora) is sometimes referred to as ironwood.
Ironwood State Prison was created in 1994.
Ironwood High School was created in 1986.
