Buoyant wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balsa

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for balsa that I've seen before include "Tropical American tree" , "Very light timber" , "light raft" , "Model makers use it" , "Lightweight timber" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, The Mirror, the USA Today, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
