Looks like the customer is going to accept the Anderson vinyl clad replacement windows. Sales rep says the wood on the inside is sealed but can be stained after delivery…is this correct?
Do it right, or do it twice.

While I certainly appreciate the response, could you possibly say a little more? What's on the wood...a sanding sealer?

Sorry about that. It's raw wood, used to be ponderosa pine, now it's the South American substitute, which is harder and clearer. Stains up quite nicely.

It's a quick drying but deep penetrating water based sealant with anti-rot goodies in it to prevent the kind of damage to wood that several manufacturers suffered from in windows of '88 vintage. While it is sealed for protection from minor water staining or absorbtion, it will still take stain..
