I'll add that for cards, it may be worth adding some other material to the pressing faces of the wood. And that the better the wood the better you'll do.

When I was doing an experiment to try to force a WST on a T206, I used wood scraps and wrapped the wet card in paper. My small vise pressed the wood grain into the card surface. (The card was already pretty beat, so it wasn't really "damaged" much. )
