Wooden rod (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dowel

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dowel that I've seen before include "Linking peg" , "Peg to hold two pieces together" , "Fixing peg" , "Lowed (anag.)" , "Peg for joining wood" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Mirror and the Universal.
