The heaviest and the hardest wood in the world is Snakewood {Piratinera guianensis}. It's specific gravity averages 1.30.
Interesting fact:
The name Ironwood is actually a slang term given to the hardest wood of an area, region or country. There are over 80 species of wood in the world, referred to or having the word Ironwood in them.

Lignum Vitae is considered the hardest commercial wood. With a hardness of 4500 it is roughly three and a half times as hard as red oak. This wood is not only extremely hard, but it is also extremely heavy, with a specific gravity over 1.0 it will sink in water.
