But it shouldn't be that hard to get various bits wrapped in woodgrain, except the steering wheel, the only hassle would be figuring out how to remove and refit the various trim bits without breaking clips!

Dont think you will find any aftermarket wood trim products. Wood generally doesnt go with the character of the F Type, and I think the majority of customers who buy this car arent really wood people, its a bit older generation in my view.
The center console trim comes off in minutes - your best bet would probably be a wood wrap.

I don't think there are a lot of opportunities in the F cabin to swap out to wood trim besides the ones that have options for carbon/black/natural aluminium and I think a wood steering wheel would just look well, odd. But then I have never understood the whole wooden steering wheel appeal. Too old but not old enough maybe ;-) As some have said, it's probably not a viable commercial market for third parties. Sadly the wood trim was one of the things that put me off an XK(R) when I wanted to move from the XFR to a coupe.
Good luck!

The wood and leather in the XK was indeed luxurious. The MB dealer was washing mine as a courtesy and remarked the interior was like a yacht. The F is definitely not yacht-like, but the interior has improved enormously since introduction. But I suppose with enough $$ anything is possible. I once saw a brand new Boxster being re-upholstered because the owner thought the factory leather was inferior. If you loved the XK, in all honesty I think the SL is closer to it than the F. Maybe an E Cab? Ian C was right there needs to be an XK replacement,
