Dimensions from the NAFA Pelt Handing Manual are: Large board: 4" @ 3" 51⁄8" @ 5" 6" @ 7½" 6¾" @ 12" 7¼" @ 17" 9" @ 39" and at the 6ft board base. Small board: 3½" @ 3" 4½" @ 5" 5½" @ 7½" 6¼" @ 12" 65⁄8" @ 17" 9" @ 39" and at the 6ft board base. With the 1X4 or 1X6 preferred, anchor them down with the top end together and the pelt butt width spread apart to the NAFA specs. Then add the pattern measurements and trim the edges accordingly. No taking inside material off. To obtain consistent butt width for the pelt size per NAFA or FHA specs, spread the spacer board to the butt width at the specified length and then mark the spreader board accordingly. To hold the tip together I use a headless nail in drilled holes, about 4 inches back from the tip. The following pictures show how mine are put together: The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
