Otter tails made easy.

[gibb]

start by splitting the beads of fat on the tail, than cross cut, this will allow the tail to open and lay flat for fleshing.


Use a generous handful of sawdust, this helps the fleshing knife push the fat off using the dull side of the knife.


You can use a fleshing tool or a knife.

Yes - thank you. A well lit picture focusing on the topic goes a long way towards explaining these kinds of things.

Great tutorial, thanks! Can you show a picture or two of your fleshing beam set-up if you have a chance?
