Coyote help please

[powersteve]

I'm fleshing a coyote right now for the first time and I need some help. It's much harder than it looked!

The biggest question I have is... how deep do I go? Have I taken too little/too much off?

There was a membrane over the whole hide under which was a thick white layer of fat. I scraped most of that membrane off except on the head where I couldn't get under it. Then I scraped most of the white fat off that was under it. However in some spots I now see 1/8" of hair on the inside, so maybe I went too deep?

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks!









Btw I think a part of the problem is that my fleshing beam isn't rounded enough. I was having to scrape on the edges and then I went too deep.
