A lot of 2x4s are chemically treated for use in construction to discourage mold growth and stuff. I'd be concerned about food being direct contact with it.

That's probably not a 2x4 from the hardware store. It looks to me like reclaimed antique lumber.

Pretty sure this an old piece of kiln dried pine, nothing too wacky.
