 I think oak is heavier🤔 denser 
 It's genuinely not, Sir. I'm an Englishman.  
 I trust you. I’m from Brazil, I’m not familiar with oak since it doesn’t grow arround here, but eucalyptus is very common here, actually is the most common cultivated tree for many apllications included paper and cellulose manufacturing. It isn’t considered a hard, durable or noble kind of wood, but a cheap one. 
 Seriously, if I could hand you this piece of wood, it's HEAVY, like, unreasonably so, for its size😳😂.  
 I have oak furniture, it's nice, and sturdy. If I had Eucalyptus furniture it wouldn't be getting up stairs😬😂.
