I haven't heard of doing that, but I'm not sure that the wood would ever get THAT hot..."back in the day" they had wooden ironing boards that were just wood, so I think it can absord it. As well as having 2 layers of cotton batting.

But like I said I have never heard of it, so it will be interesting to see others experiences with that. :)
I agree, it would probably never get that hot; but I will add that it has been recommended to put a layer of aluminum foil on the wood, first.
Wouldn't that reflection from the aluminum foil produce more heat?
