Second s maybe wrong I had put shape (clue was structure ??a?e)

[vakayu]

offset?

[vakayu]

structure could frame?

[dannyk13]

Offcut

[Bella28]

Thank you vakaya you've solved the crossword.(thank you svejk & bibblebub )

[factor-fiction]

Was it offcut then?
I can see shape was frame.
Presumably the second S in your pattern was wrong too and you now have an answer for that intersecting one

[vakayu]

Glad to help and thank-you,good luck.

[Bella28]

Offset is correct

[factor-fiction]

Thanks. I didn't think offset was a good synonym, but I must be wrong
