Furniture pressure treated? They used to use copper arsenate I believe that is no longer used-not to good for people working with it or people eating off tables treated with it.
In any case the preservative does not go fully thorough every part of the lumber.
When, it is cut to length it opens untreated wood to attack.

You should not sand or burn lumber treated with copper arsenate.
