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

'bits of wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sticks that I've seen before include "Twigs or thin branches of a tree" , "Stands" , "Small pieces of wood" , "Old fogeys" , "bits of wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
