Distribute a kind of timber that is no longer fashionable (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deal out

'distribute' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a kind of timber that is no longer fashionable' is the wordplay.
'a kind of timber' becomes 'deal'.
'that is no longer fashionable' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in another clue).
'deal'+'out'='DEAL OUT'

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
