LLL,
What are the thickness measurement of your coon-boards ?
I personally use 1/4" boards as I gain length by using this gauge board.
Have to staple a wood strip across the base of each board to keep them from cupping but the 1/4" gauge definitely gains me length.

Do you make all your widows that big? Beavis, Are you implying that a window that wide takes too much fur off of the flanks ? w

Beav that is the money cut window. I do not trim it at all. I staple the flank when pulled straight down. Gene Purdy was my mentor and that is how he showed me years ago. The picture that you are looking at is bulging with fur so it may look like it is big but I think it is the way it sits in the picture. You have commented on it twice now and that's ok but have NEVER had any buyer comment on too big of a window. I thought you said you only had 1" of the leg on the belly side. There is at least an inch and a half I guess. LLL

The whole hide is on that board. Nothing but front legs, lips, and bung are cut off that coon. LLL

If you cut them off before fleshing It makes the job a lot easier.
