So i'm super happy with this. Total length is 18 inches. Do my hands/fingers hurt? Fuck yes >.< That's the only downfall. I did enjoy making it and a few of my friends laughed when I showed them it but in the end they all wanted to wear it lol. Another friend said because of the braid it actually feels like there's bone on the inside and reacts like there is. So overall, i'm going to continue making these. I'm already working on a realistic white wolf tail for a friend of mine.
