Once he learns how to make the scraper shave instead of scrape he wont get those little chatter marks or be tiring himself out. I approve. Last edited by Boco; 02/05/23 08:24 PM.

You can take the thick parts of a beaver hide right down quick and easy and they dry overnight at room temp. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have used that scraper before.Almost any scraper will work as long as its sharpened right,easy to tough up, and your technique is correct. Jim is using what we call a bell scraper or a stirrup scraper. Last edited by Boco; 02/05/23 09:20 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Must be the stirrup scraper.Makes sense with the shape.I have a couple bell scrapers for scraping our scalded hogs. the wheels of the gods turn very slowly

I was amazed at how much came off each beaver, normally I would just scrap them on the table and hang the boards to dry. Frost scraping cleans them up near perfect and saves you a couple of days of drying time. Stand by for part two where I show you what I have learnt from the first 3 beaver.
