Sorry, but I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're saying.
Are you asking if I determine how thick a certain area is by measuring a bunch of different points in a small vicinity? I probably took 25 or so different measurements, but that's beside the point. The point is the concept of how I plan to approach the scrape of my tips.
The diagram should show something regarding the way I scrape my tips as well. In Mr. Weber's Reedmaker's Manual, It demonstrates a type of knife technique that thinks of scraping reeds as certain levels, or planes, rather than just scrape a bit here, scrape a bit there. It's kind of like mayan ruins, that have clear distinct levels when stacked together, but perhaps from a distance of a couple of miles, it might look more triangular (I don't know if this is true, just a guess).
What I'm trying to say is that it's not that I know "these certain areas are the same in thickness because I've measured the general vicinity", but rather "these certain areas are the same general thickness because I've plateaued my scraping in this manner."
