This clue might be a double definition.

'timber' is the first definition.
(deal is a kind of timber)

'town?' is the second definition.

Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deal that I've seen before include "Give several people a hand" , "Kent resort" , "Large quantity (of wood?)" , "Wood - piece of business" , "Business arrangement in timber" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
