That's not the way it works in my experience. Wood-iron beams do add support to stone, but they don't turn the stone into a base part. The only think I know of that works that way is that stone acks as ground for wood, so you can build a tall wooden roof, for example, on a stone wall that is at or near max height.

I built a stone castle that was a ground floor, a second floor, and a roof, with turrets that went up another floor (with stone tile roofs). All stone construction except for the wood-iron framing.

That doesn't sound unusual, but you can stack iron reinforced wood beams much higher than that, and if it made stone look like ground, then you could build very tall stone structures, and you can't.
