I always thought it was "for luck" as in when someone says "knock wood" and other variations on that theme.

I believe it is that as well Bill. saying prayers and touching wood. they go together.

Saying prayers? I never thought of it that way. I thought he was making another reference to boats or ships. You learn something new everyday! (Unless you sleep 'til 5pm!)

I thought it was something along the lines of this also, maybe issues about being superstitious.
