I was going through my pile of worked flakes, and I found a few spokeshaves. So I thought that I would share them with you all.
You are wecome to share your spokeshave finds also.

I already comented in your thread that it ''may be'' a spokeshave?
From what I have seen, all spokeshaves are flaked from ''one'' side as in uniface flaking, but I may be wrong. Your item appears to be flaked from both sides.
Let's cut to the chase and I will call it a spokeshave.

These are a few that I have close at hand. I feel pretty sure these are spokeshave or sinew working tools.

Here are some of my better ones. We also call the Hafted Shaft Scrapers.
These are all personal finds except for the one in the 3rd picture. I got it at a Flea Market from a guys junk box for fifty cents because as he put it, "It's just a broken Point". lol

Rock, I don't think that your items in your photo's are spokeshaves. In the last photo, those look more like possible gravers, and the the other two are what's left of two broken points.

These ones are fresh from the midden(Yesterday).....This first one the bill even tho it's Denticulated,I believe it was used to cut bone and such..Least thats the type tool I make for the job.
Hey Gator, those look like gravers or gouges, but they may be identified as spokeshaves in your area. Cool, thanks for sharing.
I suppose that's possible but the secondary flaking and the usage wear is inside the bend. I have many small ones like alot shown here that would not have worked on larger handles and branches "spokes". Those little ones were most likely for arrow shafts..
