I have been offered trades from some of the big names over the years but have never shot someone else's bow, only the bows I made so I haven't done any trading.

In all honesty, I would be afraid I wouldn't like the trade bow or the recipient of my bow wouldn't like it. Because I like and shoot only the bows I make, I suspect if I did make a trade, someone's hard work would end up a wall hanger.
      How do you know you wouldn't like another bow if you've never tried one?

I should make one and dye it peach and green. Call it green eggs and ham.

Only two ways to make a bow, wrong or right. If you make "right" bows there isn't an archer around that wouldn't enjoy it. If you make "wrong" bows nobody but yourself likes it.

I really need to turn this site off on my PC today so I can get a bit of work done...  ...but then a kid in Germany posts a gorgeous Yew Bow that needs to be ogled for a bit.  :embarassed: ;D

Eric,
Having admired your talent and craftsmanship in the many and various forums that you participate in I can't imagine someone not liking anything that you would build.

 You may be focusing on the wrong part of the statement. ;)
