I always thought that treen was the word touse for small turned wooden objects. I have seen and heard it lately referring to any wooden object whether turned or not. One dictionary defines treen as "anything made entirely from wood". A treen book case? Don't think so. Or am I being a fussy old purist about it?

Its anything worked in wood,look up *treen antiques* you'll find a host of antique wooden objects. But mostly associated with wooden boxes.

If it's made out of a tree, it's treen.

What ever tool they're trying to sell? I've seen treen tables and several places sell special treen mandrels for lathes... Spin any good tables lately? *g*

Usually, but not always. General definition seems to be "Made from trees, with no better or more specific term for it"
Another one is "firelighters"
