tbh if you printed in plain PLA you would probably see the same flaws. I don’t think you missed anything in particular. You might be able to clean up the “stalactites” (for lack of a better word) by tweaking retraction but otherwise this is pretty much just what you get when you print with details on the top layers, especially with a big nozzle
Try arachne perimeter generator Try a smaller nozzle - 0.8 is pretty big and the size of this orifice is your primary limiting factor on X/Y detail. You should be able to print wood down to at least 0.4 Try a finer layer height (may need to use a smaller nozzle to make this work)
Honestly the print looks quite clean overall, this is kinda just what you get when you print with details on the top layer. Your best bet might be to change the orientation of the part to put more of the detail along the Z axis
