Aloha Delacy,
Any reason in particular you'd like to put it there? If you check your manual, you may find that NE or NW may be a better fit.
Unless it's a huge wooden monolith, it's not a big deal. You don't have to quarantine all wood object from the North, all "blue" objects in the the South, etc.
If your focus and attention is on the wooden altar, rather than what's on it-then it can be an issue.
Much Love, Shawn
