Is timber an ok wood for hamsters?

My dad has some spare timber that ive asked to use, he said yes, but i need to make sure its safe for milo (:

Timber is just another word for wood. To know if it'd be safe you'd be better off saying what sort of wood (as in what sort of tree its from - beech wood, pine wood etc) it is. I would think that hard wood would be safest and least easy to chew through.

i asked my dad and he said he doesnt know ; all he knows is that its just timber, is i wash it, sand it would be safe for him? He's not really much of a chewer tbh :/

Yeah, it really depends what type of wood it is but if your not sure then it's probably best to leave it?
