Shoe made from carpenter's first piece of wood (4)
I believe the answer is:
clog
'shoe' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Wooden shoe' mean 'clog' so perhaps 'shoe' could also mean 'clog')
'carpenter's first piece of wood' is the wordplay.
'first piece of' indicates taking the first letters.
'wood' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of wood**).
The initial letter of 'carpenters' is 'c'.
'c'+'log'='CLOG'
'made from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for clog that I've seen before include "Dutch shoe" , "Wooden shoe; choke up" , "Block; sabot" , "Footwear - hamper" , "Become blocked with wooden-soled shoe" .)
