Hard dark wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebony

'hard dark wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ebony that I've seen before include "Wood - Boyne (anag)" , "Tree with blackish wood" , "Hard dark-coloured wood" , "'Hard, dark wood (5)'" , "Black hardwood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Independent.
