Just completed tail as my first commission work for a friend. Noted improvements for next time is longer fur (this short stuff doesn't look as good), and black instead of white elastic (buyers choice of course).

Some construction notes: even though it's a bears tail, the fur, even 1" or slightly longer, doesn't look very "tail" like, seeing it in person it looked more like a Tribble from Star Trek! Longer hairs give it more animal / tail look regardless of shape.
