A thin wooden round molding plane comprised of three parts, the wooden rectangular shaped body (a), the wooden wedge piece (b), and the iron/blade (c). The wedge piece and the iron fit together inside of the hollowed out portion in the body of the plane and extend out of the top of the body piece, as well as out of the bottom where the blade becomes exposed. Stamped on the right and left sides of both the front and back sides of the plane's body is "JAS.GILES". Stamped on the heel edge is "I BLOWER", "JAS. GILES", a "7" stamped over top of the J in 'JAS. GILES", "WESTLEY", and "243". Stamped on the toe edge is "I BLOWER", "JAS. GILES", "A. MONTY." three stars, and then "ROXTON POND. P.O.". On the top of the plane in the proper right corner is a blue sticker covered in tape with the numbers "1109". Just to the left of this is a green circular sticker.
Round planes are one of the basic molding tools. They cut convex circular grooves into a workpiece. They are found paired with hollow planes of the corresponding shape. They can be used for shaping, trimming and molding. They can be used in conjunction with other planes to create any shape imaginable. Sets of hollow and round planes are an essential part of a woodworker’s toolkit.
