...or even grip fill. Not the fancy extra strength stuff....just the standard green cardboard tube stuff. Best adhesive I've ever known for this kind of application.
I know it's not car related, but my en-suite sink is held onto the wall (shiny tiles) with the stuff. Not a lot of it either, yet it's been rock solid for 5+ years with no other fixings to hold it on the wall (no screws, no supports etc...)

Gripfill with stick anything to anything pretty much. My plastic cycle wings are held onto the steel supports with it.

I am SO gonna come to your house and try crapping in your sink to see if it holds! LOL!!! |

Would the gripfill be alright in a heavy vibration factor? Maybe the tiger seal would be better suited? It'll stay flexible is my thinking... |

Degrease it, thoroughly. Sheet's made with oiled rollers I beleive and takes a surprising lot of wiping to get clean.
Sand lightly for a key, same with the wood if it's smooth hardwood say. Tiger Seal, or other polyurethane adhesive sealant.
Have done the above. Tested bits of ally stuck to ply and they stuck really well. Made seats for my Landy using the method.

any dis-similar metals will cause an electrolytic reaction. and aluminium being of a sacrificial valency will dissolve before most metals that are ysed to retain it, but it will cause a good reaction with steel

What aluminium thing are you trying to attach to what wooden thing? I've got an image of a frustrated man trying to nail a bicycle frame to tree ;D

Brass screws, but use copperslip. Galvanic reaction is only a problem in high reaction situations or over long periods of time.
What's the application exactly?
