You can take "firewood" into the U.S. as long as it is finished lumber/wood. If you have cuttings from 2x4's, etc., those are ok -- just don't take anything you might have cut or chopped down out in the bush.
You are also allowed to take certain food products across. Check with US Customs and Immigration - Border Security - to find out what food products are allowed. Except for our food staples, we have found that it is much easier just to buy most of our groceries when we get across the line into the US. What you can and can't bring across changes so often that it is just too much of a hassle.
If you have a pet (a dog, for example...), be careful here. Fido's chow has to be in its original container, no lamb ingredients, and no prohibited ingredients. But what about the dog biscuit that he gets from the border guy? Just too many ever-changing rules and regs.
