There are woods that don't affect your water much. And if your water is hard enough/KH is high enough, the wood can't do much to make your water softer. I have wood and organics like almond leaves in my guppy tanks, but even when the tank is so full of tanins that it looks like a blackwater tank, the 253ppm GH and 15 KH means it doesn't shift, especially with frequent water changes.

@Essjay can explain better, especially if you know your GH and KH.
