A wooden sash ogee plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom half of the front body. The front and back bottom edges both extend down to create fences around the sole. The sole is curved in an ogee profile along the length. Stamps on the toe read: "J. DRYBURGH/BRIGHT,ONT"; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read "I BLOWER"; "7/8".
b- The wedge is made of the same hardwood as the body. It tapers to a point on one end and is squared with chamfered corners on the other. A shallow cut-out below the head allows for easy handling.
c- The iron is a narrow strip of dark grey metal. It abruptly widens near the cutting edge. The cutting edge is longer than it is wide, and is curved in an ogee profile. The width of the cut is 1" and the height of the cut is 1 3/8". Stamp on the top of the handle reads "CHER".
Sash planes are used in the building of sash window frames. They are considered molding planes. They are run across the length of the board to create a decorative profile. This is also known as “sticking” or “running” the wood. The term 'ogee' referes to the shape of the cutting iron. The ogee profile consists of a curve shaped like an 'S', or a double curve inversed around an inflection point.
