Wood used in model making (3)

I believe the answer is:

elm

'wood' is the definition.
(elm is a type of tree)

'in model making' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ELM' is hidden within 'model making'.

'used' is the link.

(Other definitions for elm that I've seen before include "Stately tree" , "Tree of the genus Ulmus" , "Gray's rugged tree (Elegy)" , "Tough timber" , "Source of wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and the Evening Standard.
