A wooden ogee plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a light brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom half of the front body. The throat cuts diagonally through the body just right of centre, and is exposed through the cheek. The sole is curved in an ogee profile with a wooden fence framing the back edge. The fence is secured by 5 nails. Stamps on the toe read: "DABBS"; "I BLOWER' (x2); "(T). DAVIDSON" (overstamped). A stamp on the heel reads "I BLOWER". A stamp on the back of the body reads "(BO)?" with an arrow pointing toward the heel.
b- The wedge is made of a similar hardwood to the body. It taper to a point on one end and is rounded in an elliptical form on the other. A shallow cut-out below the head allows for easy handling.
c- The ion is a narrow strip of grey metal. It abruptly widens near the cutting edge. The cutting edge consists of an ogee curve with a chamfered corner. THe width of the cut is 7/8".
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. Ogee molding planes can be used to give a sophisticated finish to baseboards, doorways, and furniture trimmings.
