Light wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balsa

'light wood' is the definition.
(balsa is a light wood used in construction)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for balsa that I've seen before include "Wood used in model making" , "Tree yielding light wood" , "Very light timber" , "South American tree" , "Strong lightweight wood" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune, The Times, The New York Times, The Independent and the Evening Standard.
