I don't doubt it. One of the raccoons I caught bent up my metal trap, it was huge and felt like a dog when I picked up the trap. Surprised it fit, I had no idea they were that strong and could bend metal like that.
My older metal trap is bent up too. I had to fix the trip plate once when they bent that part. It's not uncommon for them to shred their "hands" bloody reaching through the wires trying to get out of the trap, so I have no idea what they would do to the wood. I've often caught coons before 10pm, and I usually check on the birds after work around midnight. If I don't check at midnight, the coon would have a loooong time to try to get out.
