Nothing at all new about the wood. It is likely plantation grown radiata pine from New Zealand. I saw it being produced there about 6 years ago. They put the wood in a treatment cylinder and impregnate it with an organic resin. This plasticizes the wood. Makes it harder and more durable and more stable. It is like taking real wood and making plastic wood out of it.
