That's why I thought of "touching iron" more logical than "touching wood"! In a certain way, one is discharging that "bad energy", but in my opinion, wood doesn't seem too suitable for that purpose, unless your not "earthing", but "storing" or "passing" it to the tree or wooden object (something it does seem suitable for)
 
BTW, doesn't anybody REALLY ever heard "touch iron"? Only "wood"? I had always believed "wood" was only a Spanish thing and other european languages would have "iron".
