These really need to be covered, at least on the face, with fabric or, better yet, leather. The fibrous nature of the facing material adds structural integrety and hold the shield together even when (Not if) the wooden core is cracked. A linen cover, glued tightly in place and coated with gesso, makes a great surface to paint a design onto.
