Trailer has no brakes.
Trailer yes, two cubic meters of wood, not sure.Is the trailer with or without brakes?Not sure about your wood, but here most common woods weight approx 400-500kg per cubic m. Single cubic meter would exceed the max weight limit of trailer without brakes. 2 cubic meters with brake trailer would be in the upper part of tow limit.
Unless he's willing to buy me a new car capable of towing LOL.

Not looking to thread jack - but I've a diesel PD - and had considered popping a towbar on for those occasional odd shaped pickups etc (nothing as heavy as 2m3 of hardwood).Is the concensus that putting a towbar on a diesel i30 a complete waste of time or is it okay - as long as the items to be towed (not inclusive of the trailer which would be a small, standard unbraked one) were a few hundred kg at most?It'd be a shame to spend the $700 or so to pop on and then not be able to pull the skin off a custard. ;-)
The little diesel is a ripper - plenty of torque. PD can go 600kg with no brakes, 1300kg with brakes. I can tow my big trailer (not that I've tried yet) but would be limited to 850kg payload. For an unbraked 6x4 with a tare of 220kg (for arguments sake) - you can slap 380kg load on no worries
I've been also pulling trailer many years without any issues, but weight had been under the legal limit. Usually my unbraked tows have been something around 300-450kg. 2 cubic meters of wood unbraked might exceed the legal limit (depends on wood density).
