Much fine wood? (1,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
a good deal
'much' is the definition.
(both can mean a large amount)
'fine wood?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fine' could be 'good' (fine can mean good or high-quality) and 'good' is present in the answer.
'wood?' could be 'deal' (deal is a kind of wood) and 'deal' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for a good deal that I've seen before include "could make much" , "what a poker player hopes for?" .)
