You don't water proof the wood. The basement walls are made of concrete or concrete block - a porous material. That concrete can be sealed before you stud and cover the walls with wood. On the exterior, the dirt is dug away from the basement walls, then the areas of those walls that will be underground are first covered in a special plastic then tar is applied and the dirt is pushed back up against the foundation. The dirt should be graded away from the house so that water is directed away from the foundation and not toward it.

To waterproof your basement, consider using a combination of interior and exterior solutions. Apply a high quality waterproof sealant or paint to the interior walls. Install a French drain and sump pump system to manage groundwater. Outside, ensure proper grading to direct water away from the foundation, use gutter extensions, and apply an exterior waterproofing membrane. Additionally, fix any cracks or holes in the foundation to prevent water infiltration.
Use a block filler and normal exterior grade paint. Ask your paint supplier which filler is best for your region.

For internal issues, if the water leaks into the joints and drains into the foundation of the house, then it is recommended to use a product that will channel away the water from the foundation. And, use a waterproofing paint, if there are no cracks or holes in the wall because of water leakage. And for external issues, if the cracks are less than 3.2mm, use either polyurethane or epoxy fillers and if they are bigger than 3.2mm, clean the cracks and fix them with epoxy fillers. While waterproofing the basement, you need to conduct careful inspection of the cracks and holes created in the walls.
