Traditionally woodwind instruments were all made out of wood obviously! Oboes, clarinets, bassoons and cor anglais' are all still made out of wood but other instruments in the 'woodwind' family (flutes, saxophones, piccolos) are now made out of metal so are considered near relations to the 'main' woodwind instruments.

In the modern orchestra or band the woodwind section usually contains piccolos, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, contrabassoons, soprano saxophones, alto saxophones, baritone saxophones, and tenor saxophones. However, there are many other woodwind instruments out there such as recorders, bagpipes, panflutes, aulos, duduks, ocarinas, shawms, crumhorns, gemshorns, didgeridoo, kortholt, dulcians, and shvis, just to name some off the top of my head. Hope this helped.
