I dont see anything wrong with it

Maybe the parchment is magical.

Can I use it as a shield?

But they just cant curve back... Kinda impossible since paper is not stronger then a wooden board :p

Long nails, only hammered in a little bit, would make room behind the paper to fold backwards. Of course that would probably skew the perspective a bit.

By the way, "discussions" like this, would _never_ have happened in the old days, without a forum. If that's good or bad, is up to the individual.

Such convoluted suppositions are quite moot, as even the most addled of minds should be able to grasp the top nails were driven in very close to the top of the board allowing the parchment to scroll backwards over the top...

The only strange thing I notice is that is should say "A scrap of hobbit skin inked with blood is pinned here." instead of a somehow intuitive title.
Unless of course the aforementioned magiks are coming into play.
