Wooden firelighter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splint

(Other definitions for splint that I've seen before include "Firelighting strip" , "It's used to immobilise a broken limb" , "Aid to bone-setting" , "Fire-lighting wood; aid to bone setting" , "Stick or straight object to which broken limb is fastened" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
