Tom, the woodcutter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sawyer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tom' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the woodcutter' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sawyer that I've seen before include "Tom, hero of Mark Twain's novel" , "Bob (Dickens) or Tom (Twain)" , "Woodcutter" , "Mark Twain wrote 'The Adventures of Tom . . . . . .'" , "Mark Twain created boy Tom . . . . . ." .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
