only if it is saturated with water does it have even the slightest chance of conducting.

Like the man said, anything will be a conductor if there is enough voltage. It's just that some things (like water) are better conductors than others. Don't think that rubber soled shoes will save you if you get hit by lightning. With enough force behind it, electricity will travel through anything.

Actually wood is not a conductor ( neither electricity nor heat). But if it is moist or wet, then it is as good as impure water. So it becomes the good conductor of electricity, still a bad cond. of heat.

wood is an insulator. It is an insulator because electricity has a hard time going through it. This is beucase all the dry cells that prevent it from going throught. That is why you see the electric poles on the street made out of wood. They are used as an insulator. With enough voltage, the wood is torn apart by the massive energy.

wood is an insulator not a conductor.... metal is a conductor

Anything will conduct if you have enough voltage.
