Thanks Jono, Quisling and candledave. Definition by example - Tongue twister

Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue-
"Dull one going on about length of the sticks (8)

can it be WOODLAND? Dull is WOOD, Length L , going on AND, sticks definition

It conceivably could be, but I wouldn’t define “woodland” as “of the sticks”. And I don’t like “and” for “going on”.

I agree the definition is “of the sticks”, but I would have a four-letter word for dull, tarnish (of metal), followed by one (1) about (2) length (1)

Thanks Quisling. Rustical looks better and that will be the correct one.

bump; related to navel or Umbilical, umbilicus, omphalic, still unable to get the word using the hints given by you

oomphalus?
