Thin, decorative surface layer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veneer

(Other definitions for veneer that I've seen before include "Superficial veneer" , "Specious outward appearance of good quality" , "A surface coating or skin" , "Capital of Kenya" , "Thin wooden surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
