A wooden nosing plane comprised of five parts, a wooden body (a), a wooden wedge piece (b), an iron (c), another wooden wedge piece, the same size as the last (d), and another iron, also the same size as the last (e). The wedges and the irons fit together as two sets inside an angled hole in the main body piece, and the wedges hold the iron in place so that the iron's edge acts as a blade and is exposed on the bottom. The sole of the plane is a concave curve, and the two blades are set with one in front of the other. Stamped on the heel of the plane is "I BLOWER", "1 1/4", and "G. C. BAILEY". Stamped on the toe of the plane is "J. DRYBURGH", "I BLOWER", and G. C. BAILEY".
Nosing planes were primarily used to round the front edge of a stair tread, although they were used for other rounding tasks as well. Most of the later nosing planes had two irons. The difference between a Hollow and a Nosing Plane is the that the Hollow is a very shallow cut while the Nosing Plane cuts almost a full 180 degrees.
