what would be the best way to flesh out a beaver and tan the hide?

The best way I know how to flesh any hide is to use a fleshing beam. It is pretty fast and shouldn't hurt the hide if you are careful. If you don't have a fleshing beam you can just use board, just be sure it doesn't have any sharp corners that might catch on the skin.I have heard of using fleshing machines but have never used one myself.
