It didn't effect third. Heck Rasenshuriken in KCM didn't leave scratches. And Wood release was blasted by rasengan barrage/(Rasenshuriken against Madara) clearly showing that it would be taken down easily by third's spear. Check again, SM rasengan was able to push away the third's arm. Rasenshuriken damaged the third, not by much though but that's not even the point with that jutsu. The rasenshuriken's power is that it damages the chakra network of the victim, severing the connecting pathways of chakra. This permanent damage was obviously negated due to the Third being an edo.

In terms of wood release, Hashirama's use of it varies quite a bit. His wooden defenses can catch and block a TBB while his wood human technique can block attacks from Madara's Susanoo that can slice mountains. Hashirama's wood release is incredibly durable, it's not regular wood. It's not gonna be taken down easily, even with the third's spear.
