There's not much point in building wooden bikes.
Bike frames have several highly stressed points(bottom brackets, head tube, dropouts, seat tube, fork crown...) This means that even if wood is OK for the parts between the high stress areas, you still have to add metal brackets to deal with the point loads.
Unless you specifically want to have a wooden bike (and is willing to pay for it) it'd have been more effective to build the bike out of a stronger material to start with.
Answer:
Wooden and bamboo bike frames are not uncommon. The running gear and swivel points continue to be made of metal but the piping that makes up the frame can be made of a wide variety of materials.

Yes. You can do that. Make sure the wood is completely dry or it will twist on you. Use a sealer when you are done to seal the chemicals in.
