A wooden ogee plane consisting of 3 parts.
a- The body is rectangular and made of a light brown hardwood. A cheek protrudes from the bottom half of the front body. The throat cuts diagonally through the middle of the body and is exposed through the cheek. The sole consists of a small ogee profile running lengthwise. The rest of the sole is flat and slightly angled. Stamps on the toe read: "GABRIEL"; "J. LUSK."; "I BLOWER". Stamps on the heel read: "J. LUSK"; "2".
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 egg shape on the other. A squared cut-out below the head allows for easy handling.
c- The iron is a narrow strip of dark grey metal. It widens slightly near the cutting edge. The cutting edge is shaped in an ogee profile. The width of the cut is 3/8".
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.
