Creator of a ramshackle hut finished with gold (6)
I believe the answer is:
author
'creator' is the definition.
(author is a kind of creator)
'a ramshackle hut finished with gold' is the wordplay.
'ramshackle' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'finished with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'hut' anagrammed gives 'uth'.
'a'+'uth'+'or'='AUTHOR'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for author that I've seen before include "Originator" , "One writes" , "Dramatist" , "Pen" , "Book producer" .)
