I don't know what your setup is but that looks to me like you need a higher flow melt zone and better extruder grip. I was able to get out of a similar situation with particle filled filaments using this: https://kevinakasam.com/papilio/ and further improvement with a hall effect filament width sensor but the tinkering for that was an actual nightmare.
wood filament is also just cursed. the improvement to regular filament was much better while the particle filaments just went from similr to your wood filament to tolerable.
oh that's interesting my extruder is indeed kind of shitty. I'll take a look at this thanks
