Seems it's a board for holding things while planing etc

It gets a mention in The Village Carpenter and even a photo.

'A venerable item of the equipment of our workshop was the sticking board, a length of wood, prepared to lie flat on the bench, made with special rebates and grooves to hold the sash bars in each successive stage of preparation.'

The book says it's used in conjunction with bench knives, which are described as a relic of oldtime craft. I always wondered what they were?

Jigs for making sashes. They're almost always job-specific, with the fixtures sized to fit the workpieces.
But if you just want to make non-sash mouldings, something much simpler would suffice

It depends very much on what you want to make. They can be as simple as a board with a long fence and some woods screws at one end which act as stops. They can be raised or lowered as required.

The answer to that question is to be found in the Lost Art Press reprint of two excellent books on Window Making and Door Making, as found by Richard Arnold and I'm hoping he will post a picture of his one. (In the UK the book is available from Classic Hand Tools.)

But in case you can't wait, this blog post from Chris Schwarz has the answer http://blog.lostartpress.com/2014/02/05/a-better-bench-knife/

Presumably they are used to stop sideways slippage right? Otherwise only a stop is needed. In that case, what if you just used 2 bench knives at the front end of the piece?
