Yes, it is! Balsa weighs in at 8.1 pounds per cubic foot, whereas Cork (a type of bark, actually) weighs in at 9.3 pounds per cubic foot.
Bamboo is lighter than cork-balsaoak. Bamboo is known for its lightweight and strong properties, making it a popular choice for various applications. Cork-balsaoak is typically denser and heavier due to its composition.
Cork will float higher than balsa wood because it is less dense than water, allowing it to displace a larger volume of water relative to its weight. Balsa wood, while also buoyant, is denser than cork and may not float as high. Therefore, in terms of floating capability, cork generally has the advantage over balsa wood.
It depends how much ice and how much balsa wood you have.
Balsa
Because balsa wood is much lighter
Nono no and definitely not
Cork.
Balsa is generally lighter than bamboo. Balsa wood has a lower density compared to bamboo, which contributes to its lightweight properties. This is due to the cellular structure of balsa wood, which consists of thin-walled cells filled with air, making it one of the lightest commercial woods available. On the other hand, bamboo is denser and heavier due to its solid and fibrous structure.
balsa wood is recycable because it is basicly a lighter form of regular wood
No. Cork floats because it is not only lighter than water, it doesn't absorb water. That's why cork is used to seal wine and champagne bottles.
Cork is lighter than most types of wood and would therefore float higher (or better) in the water.
Common knowledge would say balsa, but there may be a lighter one out there. Cork is pretty darn light, but the light part is technically its bark.
