Hey guys and gals I have an elementary question but how do yall flesh your faces out so well? I've tanned plenty of hides without faces but I'm trying to up my game and leaving feet on and the tails and faces. I have 2 bobcat hides in the freezer 1 red fox 1 gray fox 1 coon and 2 coyotes.

This works, I also finish my hides and the faces with my beaver knife on the board the hide goes on. Very sharp knife and a flat surface.

I use the sharp side of my flesher and a round beaver knife.
