Looks good to me

lol,those are frostscraped,I know not everyone has conditions to do that-but,you can get them pretty close by giving them a little attention after boarding.Take a sharp beaver skinning knife and lay it almost flat on the skin and use a few long fast strokes,this will tale off any fat around the tail area very easy.Using a little different technique,use the knife in a similar fashon but more deliberate and heavier pressure to clean up between the front legs and head where the leather is thicker.You can thin it down with a sharp knife easily with a bit of practice.Dont worry about any bits of red meat left on the middle of the back as long as they are not too large they can be removed with a one hand scraper like a paint scraper or a bell scraper.Same gors for any of the fat left on the flanks and around the legholes.this will also get rid of any liquid fat left in the skin which makes them dry nicer.Once you have gone over the whole skin on the board with your one hand scraper trim and nail the legholes.You can remove the ears at this time too, if you want.
I put up a good number of beaver when conditions are not conducive to frostscraping.

Thanks. I will do that.

Nice beaver BP and nice stack.

That looks as good as any beaver put-up around. Good job Dirty!

Nice Job DDT

Heres a nice one.

That looks like mine when I first started

Boco yr put looks very nice. I had a fur buyer that only put one nail for every two of yours. Explanation was he still got the sizing right and when tanned doesnt change.

A good fleshing knife helps.....Zeph

That works if you stretch them hard enough so the scallops remain over the size line.
I dont like to overstretch beaverpelts especially fall pelts that are going to the auction..
If you are sending to the tannery it doesnt matter,You could do 12 nails most likely. It can be taken care of when blocking the tanned skin.
I do all my beaver the same regardless because I dont know which ones will be sent to the auction and which will be sent to the tannery until I grade them.-I generally know which ones I will tan myself-(the small ones).

The only time it might be better to overstrtch a skin is if you have damaged skins or otherwise poor quality skins.In that case size might trump weight.
I stretch my beaver to the industry standard-nails 3/4 to 1 inch apart.
If your nails are 2 or 3 inches apart on all your beaver you will definitely loose money on size on a collection going to auction.

Remember the old addage-You cant turn a 20 dollar pelt into a 30 dollar pelt but you can easily turn a 20 dollar pelt into a 15 dollar pelt.
