ok so this is the start of my orca tail. it is all leather, acttaly i made this from scraps of leather laying around, the dark brown piece is from an old saddle i repaired.

Anyway... i swore i would never wear a fursuit. well... this is i guess my first step to a fursuit. the entire tail is going to be made out of leather. because of the leather it can wag and wave, but as of right now it does so too much. so i have reinforced the spine with bent rod and extra hard leather in the places it bends too much.

i am doing this for fun and as an experiment. this is a lets see if i can make one. kind of thing. plus i am making it for our Halloween fur meet.
