Splinters of wood in sheds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spills

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'splinters of wood' is the first definition.

'sheds' is the second definition.
('spill' can be a synonym of 'shed')

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for spills that I've seen before include "Pieces of rolled paper used to light fires" , "Causes liquid to flow out" , "Pieces of rolled paper used to light a fire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
