Wood as a material has certain inherent strength, stiffness, and damping characteristics. CF has less natural damping, so vibrations want to "ring" on longer. Various CF builders do different things to achieve a similar - but not quite exact - mix of properties.
To my ear, the eKoa linen composite that Blackbird uses sounds the most like wood, and they use top bracing to tweak the vibration / tone as desired.
