I believe the answer is:

ply

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

'of such wood you can' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a bit cheaply' is the wordplay.
'PLY' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ply that I've seen before include "drama one's missed" , "Fold; thickness" , "Work steadily as at one's trade" , "Practise (a trade)" , "Strand, of wool or wood, say" .)
