Wooden peg (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dowel

'wooden peg' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dowel that I've seen before include "Linking peg" , "Headless peg used for joining components" , "Short peg used as a fastener" , "Wooden pin used in carpentry" , "Peg used in joinery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, the L.A. Times Daily, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday.com and the Penny Press.
