Weight and Density: The Secret in the Hand

The logic

Resin is heavier than wood, so richer pieces feel heavier—that’s "sinking". Veterans heft first to set a size-weight expectation.

Feel lies

Oil-injection, lead filling, dense-wood splicing all fake heft. Weight is only a clue—combine with oil lines, scent and burn. ID science.
