Meal cut out making peace pipe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

calumet

'peace pipe' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'meal cut out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'meal'+'cut'='mealcut'
'mealcut' with letters rearranged gives 'CALUMET'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for calumet that I've seen before include "Cut meal (anag) - pipe of peace" , "Peace-pipe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
