Mirror Boards

[DiMarco_Mercantile]

Hello,
I was browsing some Native “artifacts” online the other day, and came across what were called “mirror boards”. I thought these would be neat to have in camp, give as gifts, or put in a bag with all my other junk when I’m galavanting through the woods. I went ahead and made a few and here’s what I got so far. I’ve still got some inspiration, so I’ll probably knock out a few more.

Most of the originals that I have seen are very tack heavy, more so than what I’ve done on these. You could call them “tacky”

I've also seen old ones with a shallow rounded out depression on the other side, for cutting tobacco.
