A wooden sash match plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a light brown hardwood. A wide cheek protrudes from the bottom 2/3 of the front body. The throat cuts diagonally through the middle of the body and is exposed through the cheek. The sole is flat with a concave rounded groove running down the centre. The back edge of the sole extends down to form a fence. Stamps on the toe read: "A.MONTY/ROXTON POND,P.Q."; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read: "I BLOWER"; "1 1/2"; "R. WESTLEY"; "241".
b- The wedge is made of the same hardwood as the body. It tapers to a point on one end and is rounded in an elliptical form on the other. A small curved 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 consists of a concave bead centred between two flat edges perpendicular to the length. The width of the cut is 1 5/8".
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.
