Bringing wood into the USA?

My parents live in the UK and are coming for a visit (we live in the USA) and my father plans to make a model wooden windmill with my children. As we don't have all the tools he does he has made the details like doors window frames and the axle mechanism for the sails in his workshop and plans to bring them with him.
They read somewhere that wood may be a problem to bring into the country. I have searched and searched but cannot find any specific rules concerning this. The wood is ply board, kiln dried and pressure treated softwood, but as it is cut and modeled into doll house sized pieces it will have no stamps on it.

Does anyone know what the specific rules are? I looked on the FDA, and the US customs and excise sites (cbp) but have been unable to specifics

Yes, from what you described, you can bring those pieces into the US, but you'll need to declare them so the items can be inspected by Customs.
