Thanks for agreeing, Rod1. But while I do not want to underestimate the Jodels and their legacy, I was rather thinking of new designs, admittedly of light or even very light planes, that use wood extensively, though mixing it with modern composites. The IBIS and Luciole are examples that spring to my mind but there must be several more.
