Wooden guitar picks

I like wooden picks on my Art and Lutherie Ami, but not on any other of my guitars or mandolins. I bought them because I thought they looked interesting, and tried them on everything, the Ami was the only thing they sounded good on, and I bought another pack just because I liked them so well on that guitar.

I'm with Greg Ballantyne, on this one.  I stick to nylon cuz I need the flexibility.  If I did more flat picking and lead work, I'd try other picks, but since I'm mainly a strummer with some flat picking techniques thrown in for color, nylon's flexibility has not been matched by anything I've found or tried.

So, I guess "my" answer would only be, yes, I've tried others, even some wood ones, but I always come back to nylon; Jim Dunlop and Brain picks in particular.

I have a collection of 'fingerstyle' finger picks.

For some reason over the past 18 months or so I seem to have unintentionally started collecting picks. It's actually a perfect thing for someone like me to collect, they're usually pretty cheap and they don't take up much room. It began when I started doing some flatpicking, and around the same time someone in the cabin mentioned that a pick has quite a profound effect on the sound. That was a real ear opener. Now I have a little box next to where I play that has about 3 dozen picks in it, all different, but my 'keep coming back to' is the Tusq pick by Graphtech and the Dunlop with the alligator. However, I haven't tried the multi layered wooden ones yet so who knows...
