Best Answer

Because wood is not a good conductor of heat. The molecules in wood are not very close to each other; therefore the heat cannot travel through the molecules and you can't feel the heat.

Metal is a good conductor of heat because the molecules are very tightly packed together, so the heat can travel through easily.

Hope this helps
