Wood conducts heat very poorly-it has a very low conductivity. Does wood still have a low conductivity

Question:

Wood conducts heat very poorly-it has a very low conductivity. Does wood still have a low conductivity if it is hot? Could you quickly and safely grasp the wooden handle of a pan from a hot oven with your bare hand?
Although the pan handle is hot, is much heat conducted from it to your hand if grasped briefly? Why would it be a poor idea to do the same with an iron handle? Explain.
