Acetrapper, that is a real talent. Out of curiosity, what kind of wood or woods do you use?

How many hours in that gem? (I know you mentioned 6 weeks.) Can't say for sure and not sure I want to know. Started keeping track from the intial measurements of the original trap (provided by a wonderful member on here) and have misplced the paper I was keeping track on. I know I have well over 100 hours in this one.

2 questions
1). What was the most difficult trap you ever made?
2). Which is your favorite? 1. I would have to say this trap has been the most challenging to date. 2. Not sure I have a favorite as all I have in my collection have had their own challenges and unique pieces and all are very interesting to look at. I have been trying to make traps that are different and appealing.
