Current Forming board patterns
 
Good morning everyone,
My son has showed a big interest in trapping. I'm going to teach him from start to finish this year. From making the weasel boxes, all the way to producing a top quality finished pelt for market. I know the markets aren't great this year, but we'll store any fur we get in the freezer for now.
I have all my trapping gear, except my forming boards, which accidentally got left behind when we sold the family farm.
I found this page :
https://www.furharvesters.com/pdf/pelthandling.pdf

Are these patterns proper and current, or are there better patterns /dimensions available?
I've been away from trapping for a while, so I want to use the proper , current boards.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Ken

Where are you located? It's much easier to just make traces from existing boards if there's a Trapper in your area.

I'm north of Grande Prairie.
There isn't anywhere you can get those cardboard patterns like you used to many years ago?
I think I actually have a set of beaver board patterns, but not for the other fur bearers
