I've never had oak cubes sink before, but again I've never bottled with oak cubes either. Is this normal?

I've got a bottle of concentrated apfelwein with oak cubes in it for aging, and they are still floating after a month.

I've got another bottle of plain cider with just 2 oak cubes in it, but they have sunk after 2 weeks. This bottle was carbonated.

What's the deal?
 
I have a mead that's been on oak cubes for about 6 weeks now. Half the cubes are floating and half of them sank. The first one sank after less than two weeks.
