Slight adjustment - no point getting timber (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teak

'timber' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'slight adjustment no point' is the wordplay.
'slight adjustment' becomes 'tweak' (I've seen this in another clue).
'no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'point' becomes 'w' (W is an example).
'tweak' with 'w' removed is 'TEAK'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for teak that I've seen before include "Valuable, dense wood" , "Indian hardwood" , "Hard wood used for furniture" , "Take to the hardwood" , "Hard strong wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
