Pull the pelt on so that you can flesh the side and then flip the broad to do the other side. Then straighten the pelt out so you are ready to tack the pelt on the board. Then finish the belly and back, leaving the saddle membrane on the pelt, except if it has a lot of fat under the saddle. A curved small pelt (stirrup) flesher is the ideal tool for the fleshing. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
