Fashion a slab of wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balsa

'wood' is the definition.
(type of wood)

'fashion a slab' is the wordplay.
'fashion' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'slab'='aslab'
'aslab' anagrammed gives 'BALSA'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for balsa that I've seen before include "Model makers use it" , "Strong lightweight wood" , "A slab (anag.)" , "light raft" , "Wood used in model making" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
