The coon and cat look great. I'd redo the beaver and make it a little more uniform. You don't need to flesh the coon or beaver faces either but it didn't hurt anything and looks nice.

the coon on the left side (my left) pins need to go so teh edges are uniform with the back most furbuyers will measure from that point and you could lose a grade. Beaver needs to be more uniform, if you are able to repind to make the upper left (my left)and the top even with the rest, remember use the lines you have. Good luck I hope that helps, the scraping looks beautiful from the pics very clean.

If this is your first furs - you've done a fine job.
Even up the beaver some though.

Brother, you are doing a fine job, I don't know about the beaver as I don't put them up yet, but the cat and coon and otter look great. Any buyer will buy that fur. Well any buyer except a LSU I mean Louisiana buyer. LOL...


You can't fix stupid, but you can vote!

They look fine, even the beaver, though I would prefer a more uniform appearance. I measure beaver "through the leg holes". That is to say left rear to right front, right rear to left front and add them. More accurate that way IMHO.
What is the measurement at the skirt on your coon, if it is around 7 to 7.5 inches, then that is one good looking coon. The cat is nice as well.
You could work in my shed any time RP.

thanks guys, that's all the input i needed. at least i'm pointed in the right direction on this stuff.

mark, that coon board was a "large" from Snare Shop. i think it's 8" on the base vs 7" for the "small"

8" at the base of the board? Measure the base of your coon and see what it is. Just curious, but if I remember correctly, you coon shouldn't be more than 7.5 across at the skirt.
