There's a word for things made entirely out of wood.
Treen.
"Treen is a generic name for small handmade functional household objects made of wood."
"The scholarly study of treen was greatly advanced by Edward Pinto (1901-1972), who started collecting in his childhood and wrote a definitive book on the subject."
You'd think that this would be a common enough crossword puzzle word that I'd
of run into it before. But apparently not. What good are crossword puzzles
if you know 18 different answers to 'sea bird' but never learn about treen?
