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

Started out using Maple but didn't care for the look of the finished product so have since switched to American Black Walnut although I still use Maple for the name tag and fastener.

2 questions

1). What was the most difficult trap you ever made?

2). Which is your favorite?

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.

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.
