Crossword Genius

Lumber from the seat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saddle

This clue is a double definition.

'lumber' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the seat' is the second definition.
(saddle is a kind of seat)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for saddle that I've seen before include "load" , "Equestrian equipment" , "Seat for a horseman" , "Jockey's seat" , "Lamb joint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
