green wood
Newly cut lumber
Green wood is freshly cut timber that hasn't dried or seasoned, still containing its natural moisture.
It's heavier, harder to burn, and more prone to warping than dried wood: The green wood hissed and smoked in the fireplace.
Carvers and furniture makers sometimes prefer green wood for its workability, though it shrinks as it dries.
