Yes Vikings used wooden shields. its sort of an agility and weight issue, would you rather run around a village with a big bronze or iron shield? The shield was also pretty disposable, it is sort of used as a weapon on its own, to mostly deflect to make an opening, not outright block, and light materials were needed to properly use it for that purpose. The only metal found on these wooden shields is around the edge to reinforce it, this could withstand a hit, or if that didn't happen it would definitely lessen the impact on the wood.
The materials were too expensive for Metal shields as well.
Most people close by had wooden kite and round shields around that time, in England most if not all used a wooden shield.
But it has been proven that Vikings didn't need strong armour at all, they raided almost all of England, and even colonised most of it, without much overpowering resistance.
