"Wood" may not be uniform and homogeneous ... there may be knots, voids, rough grain, etc.
So it's a poor choice of material to illustrate the important principle here.
The principle is: Provided the sample is homogeneous, like plastic or a refined metal, every piece of it,
no matter how large or small, has the same density. Density is a property of the substance, without
any reference to the shape or size of the sample.
If the block is cut into pieces, no matter how many, and no matter whether they're the same size or
different sizes, every piece should have the same density as the aggregate block had before it was cut.

When a cube is broken into irregularly shaped pieces the density of one of the pieces would?
equal the density of any other piece, assuming that the original cube was made of the same uniform substance.
How many times to cut a cubical cake into a maximum of 125 identical piecesif the cake can be cut n times to get minimum of 120 pieces?
In one sense you cannot. The cakes would have a different number of faces which were part of the original faces. To that extent the pieces will not be identical. If such pieces are considered identical, and if the cake pieces can be stacked before cutting, then 9 cuts will suffice. Without stacking, 12 cuts are required. If the cake can be stacked and cut, and a little wastage (less than 2.5%) is pemitted, then 7 cuts will be enough.
What is the least number of cuts required to cut a cube into 504 identical pieces?
21 cuts required to cut a cube into 504 identical pieces.
If a cube of Jello is cut into two pieces what property of the pieces did change?
If a cube of jello is cut into two pieces the density of the pieces do not change.
What are the maximum number of identical pieces obtained when a cube is cut by 15 cuts?
216
Does cutting the object affects its density?
The density of cutted pieces is identical; of course this is valid only for a homogeneous material.
When a cube is broken into irregularly shaped pieces the density of one of the pieces would?
equal the density of any other piece, assuming that the original cube was made of the same uniform substance.
Does density depend on the size of an object?
No. If an object is homogeneous, then you can cut it up into a bazillion smaller pieces, and every piece has the same density as the original object had.
A 68-g bar of gold is cut into 3 equal pieces how does the density of each piece compare to the density of the original gold bar?
Exactly the same.
If a 68-g bar of gold is cut into 3 equal pieces how does the density of each piece compare to the density of the original gold bar?
Exactly the same.
Have there ever been two pieces of exactly identical popcorn?
No, there have never been two pieces of exactly identical popcorn.
What does it mean to compare the density of an object to that of it in pieces?
It means: * Calculate the density of an object * Calculate the density of its pieces * Compare
What is max number of identical pieces a cube can be into by 3 cuts?
9 pieces
How could two pieces of wood of different sizes have the same density?
You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.

Does a crayon have great density than pieces of crayon?
Yes, a crayon has greater density than pieces of crayon, assuming the pieces are not heated and mashed together. That's because the crayon has density X and air has a lower density Y. Some combination of X and Y will always be less than X.
