Wooden peg (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dowel

'wooden peg' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

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 Evening Standard, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, The Daily Mail, the Newsday.com and The Mirror.
