Furniture made from teak bulges in odd places (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table

'furniture' is the definition.
(I know that table is a type of furniture)

'teak bulges in odd places' is the wordplay.
'in odd places' indicates alternate letters (only odd-numbered letters).
'teak'+'bulges'='teakbulges'
The alternating letters of 'teakbulges' are 'TABLE'.

'made from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Board; data list" , "put on the agenda" , "Move; furniture" , "Set of figures in columns" , "restaurant food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
