Could someone explain what the theme of this Xword is? (Spec. 2064) I've done all the clues, and stared at it for what feels like aeons.I've had enough

Thanks, dj and Terry. I think seeing wood in a forest comes to mind. You wouldn't believe all the exotic things I've thought of , while the answer stood in plain view...

I think you were just a bit off-colour?

In similar situation, have now finished all clues. Is first perimeter word BLACKBOARD (one word). For the next word I have (possibly) ?O??EY. Is this another word for something black or white? are the black and white words alternate? Can someone please explain

The second word is board, but the first is not black. All the words in the perimeter can be preceded by both black and white. I found the corner square letters given in the preamble helpful.

The first word isn't 'blackboard' - there are two shorter (5 letter) words, you've got the right letters for the next word,but it has only 4 letters.

Think I've just about finished except unclued 38a THO?S WATER. Can't work out what that first word should be, or perhaps I've gone wrong somewhere else. Any help appreciated.
