Lord Dane,

Maybe 1/2 inch thick poplar about 6x8 or so?  I'm imagining two holes near the center to pass the cord and lace on to the mail?

THanks

Mine are 5x7 boiled leather. Painted on the front and about 1/4 inch thick. And yes regarding the hole placement.

I'm a fan of this time in history- thanks for the inspiration, Sir Humphrey.  :)
