    The first thing, use a bigger nozzle, the little wood powder in it will clog small nozzles. I typically use a 0.6 mm or larger. Also play with the temperature range and don't be afraid to print hot for PLA, if you vary the print from coldest extrude temperature to hottest before completely liquifying you will actually get slight variations is the amount of burn on the wood powders, kind of like real wood grain. Otherwise it is like any other PLA.
