Just note, even an undersized cooling pad can help. But ramping up the bottom for airflow is a good first step and doesn't cost money. I'm not sure how much higher a rubber foot on a flat surface can ramp up a laptop though. A pen/pencil can be around 1cm while cooling pads are around 1/2 an inch.

Amazon has some decent prices on these things.
I don't think the material decides condensation, If the air from the wood was cold enough it would cause condensation from the heat. Can wood get cold enough? I don't know.

My laptop overheats because it pulls air from underneath and blows out the side, make sure none of the hot air is able to come back and make sure there is enough space under the laptop. I have extra tall rubber legs for this, not stupid looking just more than the 1/2 inch it is without.
