Nice job. Looks great.

Thanks again to all of y’all. I’ve been kinda self conscious about posting bows I make. All the bows I make are plain and simple and I like them, but I’m surprised at the compliments I’ve received.

Don't be!  Everyone started somewhere, and there are always gonna be blow-hards, but they are very few in either trad archery or primitive bowyer circles.  EVERYBODY here loves wooden bows.  Simple, fancy, whatever.  If it survives to full draw, and doesn't look like a cartoon, it's beautiful, whether perfect or not.

And, seriously, the real beauty is in the tiller.  Your bows are FINE!

I have some of the worst adult ADD you've ever seen, and I have a similar problem finishing stuff.  Sometimes, I have INFINITE patience and almost spooky levels of focus, but not necessarily for say, sanding.   I often get a bow to the point where I learned what I wanted to learn, or tried what I wanted to try, and set it aside the next time I get interrupted, for who knows how long.  Eventually, I get around to finishing and posting.  You are not alone.

Hey Morgan,
  Looking good!  59" with that weight sounds awesome to me, I like the stain. Should be a good bow to hunt from a blind.   Heck I like everything about it.
