That's what a hafted spokeshave is suppose to look like! Nice material, form and all.
 

Dig deep Florida boy.
Your probably sitting on like 87 of them..lol

I’ve searched high and low, near and far, far and wide, underground, under water, in rain, sleet and snow, (whoops, I forgot,no snow in Florida ) in trees under bushes, and ain’t found one in 70 years, not only that, I can’t recollect seein one from here ( now watch some wise guy post one ),now if you two will scuse me I gotta go post a red stemmed one...:tongue3:
 

That is a nice looking tool, spokeshave.
 

There was a field I used to hunt in the 70's, bout 1979 I think, that produced a plethora of these types of points, almost exclusively I found tool like spokeshave points. Virtually no other field I hunted in Missouri produced relics in that style, that abundantly.

here is one of my favorite from that fields frame.

The point is not broken but purposely flaked to form a tool with the small semicircle spokeshave.
 

What kind of diameter are we looking at on that semicircle dognose? Appears to be very small indeed.
 

The diameter of the semicircle is 3/16s of an inch, 0.1875 mm
