Wood went into flames under extreme heat. (TV: The End of the World) Some objects that were made of wood, such as cricket bats, required regular application of linseed oil for proper maintenance. (TV: Castrovalva) Beavers could chew through wood. (PROSE: Wetworld)
The Doctor's sonic screwdriver was ineffective on wood. He was rather embarrassed of this. Once, when the Eleventh Doctor was battling Androzani trees, he complained about the aliens being made of wood, rendering his sonic useless on them. He again found himself in this predicament when facing peg dolls. (TV: Silence in the Library, The Hungry Earth, The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)
Many of his companions ridiculed the Doctor for his TARDIS exterior being seemingly made of wood. (TV: Smith and Jones, Meanwhile in the TARDIS, The Bells of Saint John)

Centuripedes required oak wood to build a pod to transport their eggs. (TV: The Last Oak Tree)
The Daleks had wood used as support beams in the mines dug by their human slaves during their invasion of Earth in the 22nd century. Ian Chesterton jammed the Daleks' bomb in its shaft with some left-over support beams, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the entire Dalek invasion force. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)
References
