wooden peg

Cylindrical wood pin

A wooden peg is a small cylindrical or tapered piece of wood used for fastening, hanging, or marking.

Pegs hold tent ropes in the ground, join furniture without nails, hang coats on walls, or mark positions in games like cribbage.

The old barn was held together entirely with wooden pegs.
