Hi
All the answers are TREES
i.e. Put into one's hand = palm

I'm stuck on three:
Take a different position
A number bend
Firm pull in the dentist's chair

Any help gratefully received
Thanks in advance

1 = teak anagram of take.

[Ripper]

Thanks baitress now I just need two!

[maurice]

number=L,bend=ARCH,tree=LARCH!

[Ripper]

Thank you maurice
Now I've only one to go!

After thinking for hours I can only come up with a pretty crazy idea:COATRACK,which is a kind of tree (!),and consists of CO (company=firm) AT RACK (in the d's chair=being tortured)!Even then I can't quite explain "pull",unless pull in = stop.May be rubbish! You realize---as I didn't before googling---that the dentist's chair = binge drinking,but couldn't find any trees whose beginning + ending would form binge or any such synonym.The lists of trees in Collins Million Word Crossword Dictionary & Bradfords are pretty long but unproductive. I've no doubt the answer is much simpler, but I did try!!!
