Chopped rest of wood (6)
I believe the answer is:
forest
'wood' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'chopped rest of' is the wordplay.
'chopped' is an anagram indicator.
'rest'+'of'='restof'
'restof' anagrammed gives 'FOREST'.
(Other definitions for forest that I've seen before include "Sherwood or Pine, say" , "Large area of woodland" , "Area thick with trees" , "Tree-covered area" , "Large wood" .)
