Black wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebony

'black wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebony that I've seen before include "Dark hardwood" , "Hard block tropical wood" , "hard stuff" , "Tree with blackish wood" , "Wood - Boyne (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the USA Today, The Times and the Universal.
