Popular furniture wood (4)
I believe the answer is:
teak
'popular furniture wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for teak that I've seen before include "Heavy wood of a tall evergreen Asian tree" , "Valuable, dense wood" , "Strong heavy wood of an Asian tree" , "Indian hardwood" , "Take away with very hard wood" .)
