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.
