I've been tryi g to flesh this beaver for most of the day. I finally rolled it up and put it in the freezer. I just can't seem to get it going right. I've cut 2 holes in it and tore a leg hole. Good thing I plan to tan it because it won't be worth much the way I'm going!

If I am in the mood then I will keep on scraping and boarding. If I aint in the mood then I throw the hide in the freezer and go in the house. Makes you wonder how the mountainmen scraped beaver over their knee with a butcher knife using campfire light while keeping an eye out for Blackfoot.

And I bet you would have a young squaw helping you out!!

I just did my first today, after an hour I got it fleshed... nice and slow... I shaved all the way from nose to tail then turned it 90 degrees and pushed the sides, started in the middle and worked my way around... Had to do some more shaving around the front legs, but I goterdun....
