Yes, there are several ways, laminating with premium glues, cross-grain laminating, (as plywood) for ornamental woods, for turning, veneering, etc., which are textured, porous, or rotted and/or punky (soft) they have wood fortifiers or hardeners. I will include a few sites for these type hardeners:

Lacquer Immersion (Light Stabilization): This technique requires a prolonged soaking (overnight, up to two days or more) in diluted lacquer. Although this is not a "true" stabilization (compared to professionally stabilized wood) it can be quite effective in certain situations when you need a little more support for the wood fibers. I use two different stabilization ratios, depending on the timber and how much stabilization is needed. * For light stabilization, I use Deft lacquer out of the can and mix it according to the following ratio: 50% Deft, 50% lacquer thinner by volume. * If I need a denser surface, I use Deft lacquer and mix it 75% Deft lacquer with 25% lacquer thinner. This ratio may require up to three days or more to fully penetrate thick timbers. * After soaking the piece is allowed to thoroughly dry, up to a week or longer before the piece is finish turned. There are other methods, but they are much more involved.

Is it fair to make the statement than aluminum in heavier than wood?
Yes on some casses, it does depend on the wood and its moisture content.

Petrified wood can be up to 10 times heavier than regular wood because the organic material in the wood is replaced by minerals during petrification, increasing its density.
Why is gold heavier then wood?
Gold is heavier than wood because of its higher density. Gold has a much higher atomic weight and tighter packing of atoms compared to wood, which is made of cellulose fibers that are much less dense. This difference in density is what makes gold heavier than wood.
Which is heavier a piece of metal or a piece of wood?
It will depend on the size of the two pieces. A log is going to be heavier than a penny. Metal is denser than wood.

Is metal heavier than wood?

Is PVC heavier than wood?
No, wood is heavier than PVC. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a lightweight plastic material often used in construction and manufacturing due to its low weight and durability. Wood, on the other hand, is a natural material that is typically denser and heavier than PVC.
Is gold heavier than wood?
It depends what kind of wood but mostly gold would weigh more.
Which is heavier wood or metal and why?
Oh, dude, like, metal is heavier than wood because of its density. Metal atoms are all packed in tight like a crowded elevator, while wood atoms are just chilling with some space between them. So yeah, metal wins the heavyweight championship in the periodic table, man.
