Why does a piece of metal at room temperature feel cooler than a piece of wood room temperature?

If the room temperature is cooler then you are. it is because metal is a good conductor of heat. When you put your hand on the metal it immediately starts to draw heat away from your hand this gives you the impression that it is cooling you, which it is. If you do the same with a piece of wood it is not able to draw the heat away from you be cause it is a reasonable insulator.
