Call it done or keep on going?

I’d like to get a couple of those whoop dee doos and steps out of there and thin it more...but it’s pretty good.  Gets to the point where you’ve made enough points when I say to myself I’d rather break it and try to get it perfect than have a flawed point that’s pretty good.

Whatcha all think?  Stop or keep going? :)

Parnell:

Steve, looks like ya still have lots of width, go for a few more passes, set them up and make them count. Just my .02 worth. Bob

bjrogg:
I always hate that question. I’d probably do what I’m pretty sure you will. Either keep going till I like it or completely ruin it.

I’m working on a really stubborn one right now. It was a nicely colored and sharp spearhead about fifteen minutes ago. I’m afraid it’s look poorer every minute now.lol

Sometimes I put them down and come back to them later.

Parnell:
Yeah, I’m with you guys...why stop now.  Yup Bob, abrade it nicely, get a clean entry point, sharpen my flaker and make them count.

Brian, putting them down and coming back to them seems to be my thing now!  I may be the world’s slowest knapper at this point...it just might be possible!
