dowel

At night, Roberts’ mother frequently beat him with a dowel.

The first, Spherae, is a ball-shaped cushion supported by three polished wood dowels that slide through a brass disc and lock into place.

By the time she folds it shut with a long wooden dowel, the flatbread is already bubbly and browned.

A thin slab will be cut in the stone blocks that make up the staircase, and the portrait will be fitted in and secured with stainless steel dowels.

The wall panels fit together with dowels, sort of like Ikea furniture, Ward added.
