It doesn't quite work that way. You don't specify the coefficient of friction for "glass", or from "wood", etc.; you specify the coefficient of friction between a PAIR of substances, sometimes also including any substance in between, such as lubricants. For example, you would specify the coefficient of friction:* Between glass and glass (dry) * Between glass and glass (wet) * Between glass and wood * Between wood and wood * Between tiles and leather (this might be interesting, since shoes are often made out of leather) etc.
Static or sliding friction? In any event, wood has grain. I would guess that the friction with the grain is different from the friction against the grain. Hmm, different woods have different grains. What is the friction of a wood floor?
Different types of wood have different coefficients of friction. As dense, hard, wood will tend to be smoother than a porous, soft, wood.
the answer will be meaningless until you specify what kind of wood and how finished.
wet surfaces like tiles have the least amount oof friction
