I made my beam from an old 2x12.  
Make sure the curve of your fleshing beam match that of your fleshing knife...or vice versa.

Beaver are a lot different than fox...the beaver has a very tough pelt and it takes a lot mor work to flesh one.  The few fox ive done were rather simple.
The beaver are tougher...but go catch some more...practice makes perfect.
