Glad you mentioned this. I've been wanting to find a better way to store the boards ehiłe beavers are drying. I'm going to make a rolling rack for just that purpose

Forget the plywood and use the ends of cable spools. They are much thicker and heavier, but simple to roll around. Plus, you can then nail into dimensional lumber - which takes nails way better. On top of that, they are usually free.

Where can I find the cable spool ends? Sounds like a good idea.

Try electrical supply places or a power company lineman, if you know one. You want them between 36 an 40 inches. any smaller and you won't be able to fit a blanket-sized beaver on. Any larger they get too heavy.

Whacker do you have a “ station “ that you park or stack them in or just lean them along the wall ?

I use plywood for my and I store them under my skinning bench and I have a rack that dry them on that you can dry both side with out problem.As for me nail the skins I have 2 benches that is across each other and it is good for the plywood to work to nail the skins and also when I put other skin on boards also.

I cut a hole in them with a hole saw and hang them above my chest freezers from bicycle hooks so I don't hit my head on them. You could certainly build a rack for the floor to roll them into. Otherwise just lean them against the wall and,if you have to move them, just roll out of the way

Hang up your boarded beaver for drying,it gets them out of the way.

Put three inch screws or nails into the wall about 1 inch apart in pairs of two. Stand your boards up and slide them in between the nails. The nails will stand the boards up while beaver are drying. Cheap, easy, quick, and convenient tip I picked up in a forum somewhere. Best update I have ever made to my fur room.

Gibb has posted the plans for the folding beaver table over somewhere in the NAFA fur handling pages

It saves a lot of space and holds 4 beaver drying

Loco .. you don't lift the hide off the board by sliding it up to the end of the nails?

Only if the fur is damp.I normally let the beaver fur dry on the carcass before processing.

Here's the pictures I promised

Table folded up and out if the way

Table down

With two sided beaver board on it

With a stainless steel table top I use for skinning beavers, making bait, ect

Michigan Trappin, if I had more wall space that would be the ticket. The one I remember seeing on here had wheels on the bottom, held a bunch of boards vertically and one on top like yours .

MAN! That's nice, M.T! I need to shuffle things around and see if I can make one of those work. Thanks for the pictures!

I used 3/4" plywood for my beaver boards. Also made a beaver/skinning/projects table. It has port holes on the sides to access a shelf under the top. I have two more shelves near the bottom for more gear and belly boards. It also has a vise to hold boards and a clamp for skinning the smaller stuff.





Made a beaver board rack too.



I used multi-colored lines on my beaver board, easier to keep things on track.

Nice set up rendezvous,and your fur handling is superb.

Boco, thanks!

The different colors is a great idea.

I plan on doing multiple colors too.
