The specific gravity column doesnt have anything to do with the durability column durabilty is how tough the wood is, However, I am working on a calculator that will allow you to use those number to gauge how much lead it will take to sink the wood.

As far as how specific gravity is used, its the messurment based upon the baseline of 1 which is fresh water, the lower the number the lighter in the water it will sit and the more it will take to sink it depending upon the density.
