Material
Originally, flat spools of thread were used for this material. The way the tablets are held and the unpainted wooden ends are carried over from this time. Both are really unnecessary with painted tablets.
Make Your Own
The tablets could be made without the unpainted ends. They could even be square instead of rectangular.
