Untreated Wood

Natural wood that has not been processed with chemicals, preservatives, or other treatments. Common types include pine, oak, and cedar.

Good to Know: Unlike treated wood, which often contains chemicals like preservatives and toxins to enhance durability and resistance to pests, untreated wood is free of such additives. This makes untreated wood a healthier choice, particularly in items that come into direct contact with food or skin. However, it may require more care and maintenance to preserve its natural qualities.
