The beaver has some wrinkles in it and I've heard some guys block them to take the wrinkle out. Can anyone explain that to me or know of a youtube video? 57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Then put one hand down in the middle of the back and stretch each side out but not too forcibly. It helps to stretch/pull the skin more toward the head to get rid of the wrinkles on the lower half of the hide. Then tack it out on your oval beaver board and let it completely dry for a few days. I just did two and they dried out with no wrinkles. BTW I got this info from a Trapperman follower when I made the same inquiry a month or so ago.
