It should be fine I would boil it if you can and soak it in a different container until it becomes waterlogged.
 
There are very few woods that are unacceptable in aquaria.

However, there could be some chemical treatment on it to prevent mold if its a reptile wood. I would call the store you got it from and see of they have answers or could direct you to their suppliers.
