Thick piece of timber (4)

I believe the answer is:

beam

(Other definitions for beam that I've seen before include "Horizontal structural member" , "Ray of light - structural piece of wood" , "Give a wide smile" , "Smile broadly or radiate" , "Ship's width; ray" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
