Wood is a non-metal because it is not a conductor, metal is.
Because iron has got all the properties of metal, such as malleability, ductility, electricity, and heat conducting property. It is also sonorous and lustrous. Wood doesn't have any of those properties. Rather it is non - ductile, non - malleable, a bad conductor of heat and electricity, non - lustrous, etc. That's why iron is a metal and wood is a non - metal. :]
No, but it's not a metal, either. A "non-metal" is an element, and "wood" is not a chemical element. So, wood is not a non-metal, and it's not a metal, either. Wood is a very complex substance made of many different molecules, which are made of many different atoms.
Some chairs are made of metal and others are made of non-metals like wood or plastic. It depends on which chair you are looking at.

Everywhere. Wood, plants, rocks, water, anything that isn't metal
A wood swing is an insulator because wood does not conduct electricity well. It is made of non-metal materials that do not allow electric current to flow easily through them.
because it is a conductor
No, wood cannot be turned on a metal lathe. Metal lathes are specifically designed for working with metal materials, while wood lathes are used for turning wood.
