Timber turned out beautifully (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spruce

This clue is a double definition.

'timber' is the first definition.
(spruce is a type of tree)

'turned out beautifully' is the second definition.
(spruce can mean looking fancy)

(Other definitions for spruce that I've seen before include "Neat and trim like fir tree" , "Elegant" , "Christmas tree, perhaps" , "Well-dressed" , "One [TYPE OF TREE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
