I'm new to taxidermy and currently taking a class and I've finished one duck so far and bout to start my second one but was wanting to see a few pictures of birds that have already been fleshed to give myself a better idea of how far fleshed down it needs to be. What's the average time most of yal put into the bird flesher for 1 duck. I've searched tutorials and only found a picture or two. Anything is appreciated

Thought I'd post this Wingtip as well...shows some nicely fleshed skins and a method for keeping the "gunk" off the plumage.

If you are taking a class, shouldn't your instructor be showing you? That's what you are paying for, right?

Thanks alot SingswithRavens that helped alot...  Hey Franchi yes my instructors have shown me pictures and helped me flesh my first duck, Sorry that I wanted to see how other people did their stuff to see if there was different ways or if people fleshed more or less than I was taught.
