Ive found so many artifacts.....I don't want to know how many spoke shaves I've thrown back, not knowing they were anything worth keeping. So here I am posting a pic of a possible spoke shave ...what do ya think? Am I'm off base?

Here's a couple of Neolithic multi-tools incorporating a spoke-shave feature. They're the nicest ones I have and were made from the same material, off the Sussex Downs:
Over here, we call this feature an "encoche" (literally "notch"), enbracing several potential uses such as bark-stripping, spoke-shave and bone-carving. As Ron says, they may have very fine flaking, unsuited to heavy-duty use.
I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.

I don't see one Clay the inside edge would show some flaking like the outer edge of a scraper.

is that inside edge beveled? It is hard to se that material. maybe if you try wetting it the flake scars will show up?
