In my particular setup I used a spaced wooden baffle after a design by
Curt Olson on the top of this page
http://www.trackseventeen.com/mic_rigs.html
Here is my version:

The mics are spaced at about 6 inches and set back from the leading
edge about an inch, though that may have been too much. It is best to
experiment with how far the mics are set back as you will get
different effects in different recording situations. As you can see,
one of the nice things about this design is that with a few bungee
cords you can use trees as a mic stand.
This season though I am going to try a another design using a hinge
connecting two boards so that the space can be adjusted. Wood and
hinges are heavy, so this setup is not the most travel friendly unless
you dont mind weight in your pack.

Experimentation is your best friend. If you have a miter saw, then
these baffles are extremely simple to construct and the materials will
cost you little more than $10 at a DIY store.

There is a book by Bruce Bartlett called Recording Music on Location
that profiles some of the spaced array techniques and the angles at
which the mics can be placed for certain effects. Its inexpensive and
well worth a read.
