What is a shell board?

I had this idea…why not make a board that I could display and photograph my client’s shells on at the end of the trip. I usually put the shells on the fish cleaning table to take pictures.  Many times I want to show how big or small a shell is. You will notice numbers across the bottom that are black and white and indicate inches.  I took this idea from one of my archaeology books. I put a few shells from the back porch on it for a “Test Run” today.  I soon realized that I need the black and white numbers on both sides going up the board.  The back of the board is an area for people to sign after the trip, if they wish.  Yes, we will have a “signing of the shell board”. There you have it, Capt. Brian’s shell board!
