Have you guys priced plywood lately? Yikes.
I do not trap beaver but have swung a lot of hammer. Is it awkward tacking one to ply, that has one in the other side?
Friend tanned and hooped one for his Mom. She displays it in her main entry. Pretty cool.

If you use a boarding table like FHA shows it not hard at all. Don't ha e to get as fancy as theirs. I just built a frame that i can lay on sawhorses.

I also use plywood and nails. Have never tried hooping. Hammer, I like the idea of two smalls on one side may have to make a couple if plywood ever comes down. I'm with newfox takes me about 20 to 30 minutes to board one but I'm never in a hurry and don't have too many to do at a time. Would also love to see a 4 minute nail up video. I'd have one swollen thumb trying to nail that fast myself lol

Hoops is all I ever used they work fine never had a complaint quick, they shape themselves made top lot using them and easy to use easy to store. Those look great. Any insight on which hoops/hog rings to buy? Tips? Thanks Pig rings are used for the main hoop I have shorter ones I use around the face depending if it's going to be tanned or sold for a pelt. A over sharpen pointie knife works great for poking the hook holes.
