Aerolite (caesin) had a long term history and was until recently still being sold and used in experimental operations; I've attended some wood aircraft seminars in recent years, and a few still continued to preach it, but it's fallen out of favor as it does tend to deteriorate and can decompose organically. Present guidance states that it should be considered obsolete. Same for plastic resins. Also until fairly recently a popular choice.
