A wooden ogee and bevel plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom 2/3 of the front body. The throat cuts through the middle of the body and is exposed through the cheek. The sole is curved lengthwise in an ogee form. A narrow wooden fence frames the front edge of the sole. The back edge is grooved to match the bevel of the cutting iron (c). Stamps on the toe read: "J.P.MILLENER & Co./KINGSTON"; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read: "I BLOWER"; "T. WINDER" (x2); "1/2".
b- The wedge is made of the same hardwood as the body. It tapers to a point on one end and is rounded in an elliptical form on the other. A small 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, wider than it is long. The cutting edge consists of a pronounced ogee curve accompanied by a straight, angled edge. The width of the cut is 1 5/8".
Ogee molding planes are used to mold the profile of a workpiece. The ogee profile consists of a curve shaped like an 'S', or a double curve inversed around an inflection point. This can be combined with any other detail, like beads or fillets, to create unique ogee profiles. In this case, the curve is accompanied by a straight beveled edge. Ogee molding planes can be used to give a sophisticated finish to baseboards, doorways, and furniture trimmings.
