A wooden ogee plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a dark brown hardwood. It is almost as wide as it is tall. A cheek protrudes from the bottom half of the front body. The throat cuts diagonally through the middle of the body and is exposed through the cheek. The sole is curved in an ogee profile along the length. An embedded strip of wood borders the front of the sole and closes the shape of the curve. The back edge of the sole extends down slightly to form a fence. A stamp on the toe reads "GOUGH & BOWEN"
b- The wedge is made of a light brown hardwood. 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. A stamp reads "(P?). (T)OLL"
c- The iron is a narrow strip of ferrous metal. It abruptly widens near the cutting edge. The cutting edge consists of a short flat segment paired with an ogee curve. The width of the cut is 1 1/2".
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.
