FRom a review of an art show:
….Este artilugio, que suele ser recatado y móvil, ha mutado en una pieza corpulenta y estática, de la que cuelgan unas telas verdosas y parduzcas y que tiene en la base, por donde se ve la madera viva, unos reflejos dorados.
Is it unfinished wood?
Thanks

sapwood
Another option, a term used in this context. Living wood makes me think of sculptures using live trees:
SAPWOOD: madera viva, transporta agua de raíces a hojas.
https://slideplayer.es/slide/12677019/
Sapwood - Green wood that still contains its original sap.

The living wood just under the bark is creamy white or tan and is called sapwood.

bare wood
"en carne viva" means "raw" or stripped of skin, and this may be what the writer is consciously or unconsciously referring to.

: The other definitions that have been listed are good, but I think this is the best translation in this context.
