Wood is a kind of material for items that appears in NetHack.

Wooden objects are subject to burning and rotting; for wooden weapons, they can be burnt by dropping them in lava or using them to strike a monster with a fiery passive attack. Elven weapons and several pieces of elven armor are made of wood; these may be made of (or at least inspired by) D&D's ironwood.

Gelatinous cubes will engulf and eat any wooden items they come across; polymorphing into a gelatinous cube will also allow you to eat wooden items.
