ideal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just made for the job' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'one kind of timber' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'kind of timber' becomes 'deal'.
'i'+'deal'='IDEAL'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ideal that I've seen before include "Ailed (anag)" , "Just perfect, couldn't be better" , "Perfect; visionary" , "Model of perfection" , "superb specimen" .)

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