As legend would have it, it was made of dogwood, but due to the small size of the dogwood tree that's highly unlikely. The Bible has nothing to say on the wood and roman history isn't very specific about what was used to make crosses. Most likely it was made of whatever they had at hand

Can wood kill you?

Wood splinters (or toothpicks) can cause severe injury or death if swallowed. There are many weapons made of sharpened wood (arrows, spears) that can also kill someone. Even wood pencils have been used as makeshift knives (shivs) in prison. And, of course, a falling tree limb or tree trunk can cause fatal injuries. In storms with high winds, both wood and metal debris are traveling at high speeds and can cause severe injury or death.
