Player of woodwind instrument back to including wood from France (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oboist

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

'player of woodwind instrument' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'back to including wood from france' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'wood from france' becomes 'bois' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' in reverse letter order is 'ot'.
'ot' enclosing 'bois' is 'OBOIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oboist that I've seen before include "Instrumentalist" , "Musician who plays woodwind of treble pitch" , "Do I boost the musician?" , "Wind player" , "Player of woodwind instrument of treble pitch" .)
