Bow made of stripped larch (3)
I believe the answer is:
arc
'bow' is the definition.
(both can mean a curve)
'of stripped larch' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARC' can be found hidden inside 'stripped larch'.
'made' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for arc that I've seen before include "part of turning circle?" , "Light" , "Electrical spark" , "Half-moon" , "Bow" .)
