Hi Elisa,
I believe Colorfabb uses PLA as a binding material for their woodfill and their ration is 70% plastic 30% wood. It can be a tricky material to use, let alone produce it.
What you should look out for is the wood fibers not being to big, so they won't fit through the nozzle. I don't know what kind of wood you are planning on using, but I can imagine if it has additives like glue that won't benefit the quality.
