A wooden handrail ogee plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is a rectangular prism made of brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom half of the back body. A large throat cuts diagonally through the middle of the body. The sole is curved in an ogee profile along the length. An adjustable wooden fence sits at the back of the sole. The fence is secured by two slotted screws and metal plates. Stamps on the toe read: "WALLACE/MONTREAL"; "I BLOWER" (x2). Stamps on the heel read "I BLOWER" (x2).
b- The wedge is a wide strip of hardwood. The top corners are slightly chamfered. The body tapers toward the bottom where it splits into two prongs with a gap between them.
c- The iron is a wide strip of dark grey metal. The top edges are chamfered. The cutting edge is curved in an ogee profile. The width of the cut is 1 3/4". Stamps on the iron read: "1 3/4"; "JAMES CAM/SHEFFIELD" with an ensign.
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.
