No Roger it probably isn't "Boxwood", most boxwood is much lighter than most 
maple. There could be some variety that I am not aware of though.  Is it a 
light to dark brownish color, yet not really brown?.....if so it may be 
Lignum Vitae, (Guaiacum officinale or G. sanctum)  which does have a higher 
specific gravity than water and does a remarkably good job of sinking :-)
