Boxwood was used frequently for baroque woodwind instruments. Mostly Flutes and Clarinets but I have seen one or two oboes.
Other woods and other materials could be used, but African blackwood has very good tonal qualities. It is used not only for oboes, but also for clarinets, pipes of different sorts of bagpipes, and other instruments. It is very expensive.
The oboe is made of ebony. Most oboes are wooden, but some are black plastic. Wooden oboes cost up to double the amount of plastic ones.
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.
Thaey are made by Maybach.

Clarinets weren't invented until the 1700's

They are usually made of Grenadilla wood or Rosewood.

Clarinetium
A flute
Clarinets are generally made of wood or plastic, depending on the quality and price. They aren't made from pure elements.

Wood. They were less complex back then.
