It could have been an earwig (order dermaptera) look on google at pictures of this insect to see if its the same. These insects have pincers but they are found on the rear of the animal not the front. These insects are omnivorous and can destroy crops so I think they would probably eat wood as well.
There are also many different types of termites. Some of which have pincers too. So it may just be a termite that you don't normally see.

I think it is a scorpion. You better not touch it or it could sting you and possibly inflict emotional harm to your bladder. Next time you play in the wood, be sure to wear gloves and wash up with plenty of bacterial soap. Now if you read this, then you are the world's biggest idiot and your existence is worthless.
