Salt makes Ice Melt
Faster
Wood burns faster than silver because it has a lower melting point and is more flammable. Silver's high melting point makes it resistant to burning at standard temperatures, however, it can eventually melt under intense heat.
Butter will melt faster on metal than on rubber or wood. Metal conducts heat more efficiently, allowing the heat from the surface to transfer to the butter quickly, resulting in faster melting. Rubber and wood are poorer conductors of heat, so they will retain heat and transfer it to the butter at a slower rate.
Wood doesn't melt.
On an episode of the UK-broadcast "Brainiac: History Abuse" TV series, it was proved that a block of ice is melted by a flame-thrower within two minutes. The pykrete on the other hand, was left virtually uncharred after several minutes of torture from the flame-thrower.
unless the wood is hot/warm, it most likely not melt the ice.
I believe the reason that ice melts faster on granite is because granite is a very dense "hard & non porous" surface. Therefore, water molecules are not able to penetrate the surface as far and when ice forms on the top of the surface it looses its bond faster. On a surface like concrete where the water molecules can penetrate, the ice forms on the surface and below the surface as well thus taking longer to melt. This is just an educate guess? I'd like to add that granite holds heat longer than many materials also.
it melts faster on a metal surface.Ice absorbs heat from metal faster than it absorbs it from wood. Wood is an insulator. It slows down the transfer of heat to the ice. Metal is a conductor. It absorbs heat readily, and passes it on quickly.
sodium chloride
Most paint dries faster on wood.
Wood makes paper. Wood makes money. Wood makes houses and stores.

obviously on wood dumb,it absorbs the liquid in it.
