Im in the prosses of make a PVC fleshing beam, but im struggling trying to figure out the right shape and taper for the working end. If anyone has some measurement's of a template it would be much help!

Depends what you're fleshing. I made mine narrow, and it works pretty good for case skinned stuff. Not so much for beaver leg holes though. I used a 1/3 diameter of 6". I'm toying with making a separate beam for beaver, just haven't. I can get measurements, but it'll likely be a few days.

Thats the same size im working with is 6 in, im just trying to figure out the taper width or whatever. I dont want it to pointed or to fat, ya know.

Look up coon creek on YouTube he had a video on his
PVC beams.

Coon boards make great templates for fleshing beams. Here are a few measurements

I call myself watching it but I dont remember him talking about measurements

Thank you for that!

6" beam, second from the right, is used 95% of the time. Watched Coon Creek Outdoors YouTube videos.

I like those, but none of them are 6" pipe...what size pipe were they made of? Looks to be at least 18". Love your setup.

6" pipe is too small for making "wood" style beams.
12" and up is optimal.

If I had only 6"pvs I would just cut it to length and slide it over a wooden post.

This is what I made with 6" pipe ?????

Very nice. You did a great job of smoothing it down. And it looks very symmetric
Now for a few hides to flesh to see if you like the taper of the "nose"
I like mine a little more narrow for the first 6-8 inches
But mine are 8+ inches wide

Thats what im unsure about id the "nose" cause I fill like its going to be to wide, but i guess Ill find out

Those look great. Nice job

I made mine wider it worked good for fleshing around
beaver leg holes, but had a hard time getting coon down on the beam to start fleshing behind ears, so I narrowed the point down, the coon fits good now but
have a hard time with beaver back leg holes

I used a coon board for a template also. When I made mine 10+ years ago, I also made 3 ot 4 other sizes. I quickly decided that I only needed the one. If I trapped beaver, I might make the wider one.

At the time all I have is coon wire strechers, will that work for a template?

Give it a measurement and compare to the chart I posted. You may have to zip tie it in the middle to narrow the wire stretcher

Appreciate it, Im goin to try & draw a guide on some paper with the measurements you posted
