Poor bargain for untreated wood? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raw deal

This clue is a double definition.

'poor bargain' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'untreated wood?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for raw deal that I've seen before include "Inequitable treatment" , "Poor bargain" , "Unjust arrangement" , "that's a bit rough" , "It's unfair treatment if you get one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
