Do you mean cross stitching on wooden shapes with holes in them, like this kit at Sew & So?

I don't think there is anything particularly different about stitching on wood except it may be a little awkward to fasten off because it is so stiff. I would start with a loop start wherever possible, then cross stitch as usual, and possibly change to a smaller needle for finishing off.

Hope that helps!

Sure rcperryls. I didn't start to do. This is my first trial. Many my customers are asking for wooden cross-stitching.
