Topband: Wood vs PVC on Loops ect

[AD5VJ Bob]

Reading about the various loops and other antennas as well I am reading a lot about using PVC as the separator and  boom arms.

I don't have but one piece of PVC and it is only about 3.5' long.

So I was wondering since I didn't find anything on it why wood (which I have plenty of and can cut to length) would not work for the
boom and/or separator arms on these antennas.

Does it somehow interfere?
