Think about making cut in shelter (8)

I believe the answer is:

chewover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'think about' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cut in shelter' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'hew' (hew can mean to chop or cut).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'shelter' becomes 'cover' (I've seen this before).
'hew' placed within 'cover' is 'CHEWOVER'.

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
