Can the BBS panel be used untreated and exposed to the elements?

Yes. When a BBS panel is exposed to the elements the outer layer is Larch, while the inner layers can be Spruce. Larch is the most indicated for outdoor exposure. If the panel surface is left untreated the wood will experience a natural aging process over time (change in color and surface texture).
