actually yes!... you can... although it will be consider a weird thing to do. Constantly be touching wood. Never, if you don't want to be shocked, touch metal without touching wood first. There are other ways to stop getting shocked by static electricity. One way is to put lotion on exposed skin areas. See the Related Link for more ideas.
