Wooden Radio Antenna and Reciever

So I thought the other day well people have been making crystal radios for ages which don't even use electrical power to recieve radio signals. I was thinking you could probably do the same thing with wood if you could somehow distort the incoming high frequency waves and split them into LOWER frequency waves that the wooden antenna would be capable of then transferring to a speaker of some sort. The speaker could based on the whole "string and paper cup phone" idea. Except with string and perhaps wood, but yes it could even be a paper cup.

The only question is how. Now, I did come up with another idea on how to TRANSMIT radio waves that seems quite possible, and it involves having about 3 or more wooden "prongs" if you will vibrating at different frequencies that are directed at a certain area above antenna, that when mixed in the air will distort each other's frequencies and create the HIGH frequencies required to transmit radio information. I have not experimented with that yet but I am curious to know if anyone here has thought of something similar or has any advice onto how to go about this.

And I base the idea on, well, if you wanted to build something that is a load-bearing structure out of thick aluminum it might do the same job as thinner steel. Not that it's an exact science but there are other examples such as people using steel as a positive terminal paired with a much larger and thicker steel NEGATIVE terminal to produce very crappy electrical power. If you can do that, i wonder if you could create a radio receiver with wood? Might not be energy efficient, might not be all that practical in every use but that is not the point. The point is to come up with something new and exciting that I could make out of wood. Imagine the possibility of being a survivalist trapped in the woods and having to communicate your location to help with only wooden rods? That would be awesome.

Any help?
