Take out some timber (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teak

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

'take out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'take' anagrammed gives 'TEAK'.

'some' is the link.

(Other definitions for teak that I've seen before include "Take away with very hard wood" , "Hard durable timber" , "Type of tree" , "Strong heavy wood of an Asian tree" , "Hardwood found naturally in the Far East" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
