[Jacob-list] Pelts

[Mark Essen]

My preferred method is a two handled knife called a fleshing knife.  I  
get a rounded log to place the pelt on, fleece side down,  and then 
start cleaning.  It is more of a scraping process in this manner and I 
find it is easier to not cut the pelt.  I do not remember where I picked 
up my knife, but it was way before the internet.  I am sure it would be 
easier to find them now.
