Does the sun have carbon?

Yes, the sun can be expected to have some carbon. That carbon would have come from the same source as the carbon on the earth. Our sun is not massive enough nor hot enough to nucleosynthesize carbon. That would require a red giant. See http://library.thinkquest.org/17940/texts/nucleosynthesis/nucleosynthesis.html for some more details.


Where did the energy in wood originally come from?

The wood is made of organic carbon compounds produced when the tree grew, using carbon from the carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere and energy from the Sun's light to split the carbon from the oxygen. When the wood is burnt the carbon is recombined with more oxygen from the atmosphere to produce more CO2, and the original energy which came from the Sun is then released as heat.
