The wood does not move in the same direction as the wave is moving, but rather it moves in a direction perpendicular to the travel of the wave, i.e. transverse. In the case of the falling dominoes, the movement of the dominoes was in the direction parallel to the movement of the wave, i.e. longitudinal.
