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