Just thought I should clarify, the wood pieces are 1/4" thick.  They've been
cut into triangles, and each piece covers about the same area as a normal
piece of paper.

Uh, what are "shims"??

I think you've already guessed, correctly I might add.  A shim is just
something that slide in between two other things to make it fit, or
make a little more snug, or whatever.  In our case, boards of varying
thicknesses to stick under table legs, etc. to create a level surface
for the layout.  I don't have any wood that is 1/4" thick, so your
pieces would be useful.

When you say "a normal piece of paper", do you mean that each triangle
has about the same surface area as an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper?
Can we cut them into smaller pieces?
