A wooden hollow molding plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a light brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom 2/3 of the front body. The throat cuts diagonally through the body and is exposed through the cheek. The sole is rounded concavely along the length. The bottom edge of the back body is chamfered to meet the sole. Stamps on the toe read: "J.DRYBURGH/BRIGHT,ONT"; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read: "I BLOWER"; "14".
b- The wedge is made of a similar hardwood to the body. It tapers to a point on one end and is rounded in an oblong form on the other. A shallow cut-out below the head allows for easy handling.
c- The iron is a narrow strip of grey metal. It abruptly widens near the cutting edge. The cutting edge is curved concavely. The width of the cut is 1 3/8".
Round planes are one of the basic molding tools. They cut convex circular grooves into a workpiece. They are found paired with hollow planes of the corresponding shape. They can be used for shaping, trimming and molding. They can be used in conjunction with other planes to create any shape imaginable. Sets of hollow and round planes are an essential part of a woodworker’s toolkit.
