Last shape for piece of wood (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'piece of wood' is the definition.
'slat' can be an answer for 'wood' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'piece of' bit.

'last shape' is the wordplay.
'shape' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last' with letters rearranged gives 'SLAT'.

'for' acts as a link.
