Dark wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebony

'dark wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebony that I've seen before include "Heavy hard wood, usually black" , "'Hard, dark wood (5)'" , "Dark hardwood" , "Tree having black wood" , "hard stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, the Evening Standard, the USA Today, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Telegraph and The Star Tribune.
