I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'answer' is the definition.
(I know that answer can be written as reply)

'concerning laminated wood' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'laminated wood' becomes 'ply' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'ply'='REPLY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reply that I've seen before include "acknowledgement" , "Comeback" , "Counter" , "Returned statement" , "counterattack?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
