If you could show me the block of wood, then I could measure it and answer your question. For that matter, if you have the block of wood, you could measure it and answer your own question.
The weight of water displaced by the floating block of wood is exactly equal to the weight of the ENTIRE block of wood, regardless of how much of the wood is above the water level.
All you have to do is measure is side of the wood (length, width, height) in your preferred unit of measurement (cm, in) and then multiply the three values together. This will give you a cubic answer (cm cubed, in cubed).
To find the mass of a block of wood you should use a triple beam balance.
Density of wood = mass/volume
