No, asbestos was never used to treat wood. It would not lend itself to wood treatment since, as a mineral, it is not readily dissolved in solvents that could be used to carry it into wood.

It was used to build enclosures around wood in some applications, but that is enclosure or encapsulation, not "treatment."
