It would take longer because wood is an insulator, but it all depends on how much energy is absorbed by it's surroundings. If it's warm out, more energy can be used to melt the ice, if it is colder, then vice versa. If it is below freezing outside, then obviously it won't melt.

Oh, dude, it's like, totally gonna depend on a bunch of stuff, you know? Like, the size of the ice cube, the temperature of the room, the type of wood... But, on average, I'd say it could take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. So, like, just chill and watch the magic happen, man.


Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?

Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.

What substances won't melt no matter how high their temperature?

The only things that won't melt at high temperature are those that decompose first. For instance, wood will burn long before it melts! Many many things decompose at high temperatures before they melt. If it doesn't decompose first, everything will eventually melt.
