You got to dampen the hide and stretch it cheating every thing forward. You will be able to almost get rid of all the slack in the lower back. When it dries it will be 95% gone and oval shape, flat, and keep the shape pretty good

I've had 3 beaver pelts done by Moyles, all are soft and supple as a baby's blanket.
Let's go Brandon!

You guys must be special. I have to hang most of my hides for 3 days to a week to see what they look like. They throw them hides in the box like it is a laundry hamper. They are all wadded up. Agree. And the beaver usually do not lay flat. I just block them out by tacking them back on boards after I moisten the leather. This is to stretch the shrinkage out that comes from the tanning process. After blocking and allowing them to dry, they will lay flat. All tanned fur needs to be blocked before cutting and sewing to make stuff out of it.

Fleshed or heavily salted.

Fleshed or heavily salted. Beaver should be fleshed before salting or stretching. Pelts that are salted before fleshing have a high chance to slip/taint.
