A hollow molding 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 of the body. The sole is slightly curved convexly to match the cutting iron. The mouth is centred and cuts through the cheek. Stamps on the toe read: "S.KING/HULL"; "J.NAYLON"; "W. BURTON"; "F TASKER"; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read: "I BLOWER"; "(12)?".
b- The wedge is made of a similar hardwood to the body. It tapers to a point on one end and is rounded on the other. A cut-out below the head allows for easy handling.
c- The iron is a narrow strip of ferrous metal. It abruptly widens near the cutting edge. The cutting edge is rectangular with the length perpendicular to the length of the iron. The blade is rounded convexly. The width of the cut is 7/8".
Hollow molding planes are extremely versatile. They are used to cut concave grooves in any portion of a workpiece. Used alone or in conjunction with other planes, hollow molding planes allow workers to create or adjust any conceivable form.
