Decorative woodwork (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inlay

'decorative woodwork' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for inlay that I've seen before include "Insert wood, stone or metal into a surface" , "Decoration of a surface by inserting wood, stone or metal" , "Embed" , "eg Marquetry" , "Type of woodwork" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily and The Wall Street Journal.
