When immersed in water, it partially floats in it. This is because density of water = 1000 kg/m^3 whereas the density of wood is 500 kg/m^3.
When immersed in glycerine, it completely sinks into it because its density is more than both water and wood which is equal to 1260 kg/m^3.

In water it will partially float, and in glycerine it will sink as water has less density than glycerine
