The specific heat capacity of wood varies as a function of the type of wood and also the moisture content. A figure of 0.4 to 0.5 will get you in the ball park, but numbers can stray well above and below that range. Dry balsa and a chunk of fir that was just pulled up from the bottom of a lake where it was snoozing for a hundred years will lie outside the given values. By giving it a bit of thought, you can see why. This may not help you solve a specific problem, but it will allow you to assess the variables and perhaps come up with a "best guess" for your specific application.
