Google "NAFA Pelt Handling Manual" pg 29 for the measurements then split the board down the middle. For ease in pelt removal use a head spacer rather than the normal butt spacer.

Pelts on collapsible/split boards can often still be tight in the neck area when the base of the board is collapsed, especially with cats. To avoid this use a head spacer that can be easily removed through the pelt mouth area. All that’s required is a standard clothes pin, a headless nail, some duct tape and a 6 or 8 inch sip tie. The spreader nail should be no more than 4 inches from the board tip to facilitate removal of the cloths pin spacer. Pull the spacer pin, squeeze the boards together and the pelt is removed very easily compared to the normal procedure with a collapsible board at the butt end.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Page 12 of the fur handling archives. A few threads there about makeing boards so there might be something about adjustable cat boards.
