Large curved structure in wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

larch

'wood' is the definition.
(I know that larch is a type of wood)

'large curved structure' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'curved structure' becomes 'arch' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'arch'='LARCH'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for larch that I've seen before include "Supplier of timber" , "Deciduous conifer" , "Coniferous tree with deciduous bright green needles" , "wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
