They are not the same. Metals are elements, compounds, or alloys that can conduct electricity due to delocalized electrons. Wood is made from the xylem of trees. The biggest similarity between the two is that they are both solid at room temperature.

Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, so when you touch a metal object at room temperature, it conducts heat away from your skin more effectively than a wood object.
