Just getting started on putting up fur and looking to get some supplies at the FTA this year. Going to get some beams form Top Lot Stretcher CO and I see they make a big beam 11 3/8" x 58". Do we need a wide one like that for beaver? Right now we have a parallel and a mini parallel knife. Looking for any and all tips on putting up beaver. Thank you

Well, you will need a small beam for rats and mink but a 8" beam will work for everything else. And you can make your own. I bought a 2X8 doug fir plank and made my own.

I do have one I also made that is around 4 inches in diameter. This one is used for otter or smaller sized animals. Mink, weasel I flesh them right on the boards they go on.
