Just got a new fleshing beam "my first". Do I need to prep it some how before using? or use it as is? It is a wooden beam.
Thanks Doug

The fat from fleshing will do but if you won't be using it a lot a good coat of linseed oil will protect it and won't harm any fur. Polyurathane is NOT good.

Interesting. . I put 12 coats of polyurethane on mine and it works like a champ. I like the fact that I can wipe it clean and it didn't hurt the fur at all. Might be because I coated it in the summer time.

Thanks for the help, think I'll just flesh the coons on it as is. I'm sure more questions will come up after fleshing for the 1st time.

Woj, Whatever you did you did it right. Usually, poly will flake and peel over time because of the knife friction. With 12 coats it's probably too hard to peel. I don't put that much poly on floors!

Yeah I don't put that much on floors either. Usually 1 coat of sanding sealer and 3 of gym floor poly. The 12 coats was gym floor poly and smooth as silk.
