The wood stirs are good for making spoke wheels and such for wagons.  :-)

but You don't need to ruin Your teeth for some spoked wheels  ;)

how comes that fencing (the thing about separating open spaces) is the same word used for the swashbuckling sport with the blades?

I could have clearly mistaken the topic title

"excuse me Miss, I just used Your handbag to steal coffee-stirrers. Can I have them please?
Oh, btw, can I buy You one?"  ;)

Rymans the Stationers sell the big lollipop sticks/tongue depressers in packs of 50 for £1.49.  They also sell the small lolly sticks.

The dollar stores out here in the northwest USA all seem to carry fairly large bags of wooden sticks in a number of sizes for a dollar.

Popscicle sticks are 2xs thickness of coffee stir sticks and much wider. To get the stir sticks to a scale width for fence slats or boards, you may have to split them. I used thin styren plastic sheeting cut thin and then assembled my fencing. Long sections, short sections and knocked down sections. Heres a link to a standing section
