Do you allow it?

Yep. Don't think I've seen any wood bats on the banned bat list. If it says "OFFICIAL SOFTBALL" on it, I'm letting them swing away. I also don't think ASA certifies wood bats so there wouldn't be a stamp on it anyways.
edit to add: Rule 3 -1 makes an exception for wood bats. They don't need an ASA approval stamp to be used.
