Hi there
Injecting a bit of realism unto this thread from an Engineers point of view.
Biological computing units have been speculated about for years -- a good example is The Human Brain -- so the idea of using natural substances is nothing new.
However the major flaws in using something like wood are -- it's non conducting (for neurons and anything else) and unlike The Human Brain it can't use an energy source which you have to have for any sort of computing device --biological or otherwise.
The other limitations of wood are rather obvious too.
