A wooden beading plane comprised of three parts.
a- The frame is rectangular and made of hardwood. The mouth is cut in the centre of the frame to house the iron and the wedge. The bottom half of the mouth is exposed. The bottom 2/3 of the front side protrudes 1.0cm to secure the iron. The sole is grooved to match the shape of the iron. The groove is deeper between the mouth and toe. Stamps on toe read: "I BLOWER"; "GEO. DUFFIELD"; "LEED". Stamps on heel read: "I BLOWER"; "1/8". Inscription on back reads "(ASH & CO)?".

c- The iron's cutting edge is asymmetrically concave. The iron widens near the bottom and is held in place by the wedge.
Side bead planes are used to put a bead, or a convex groove into the edge of a piece. They are considered molding planes. Beads can be put into any straight piece, but are popular in tables, shelves and doors.
