Round molding plane comprised of three parts, a wooden rectangular body (a), a wooden wedge piece that is rounded at the top and tapered to a point at the bottom (b), and an iron with a curved blade (c). The wedge and the iron fit together inside of the body of the plane and the wedge holds the iron in place as the plane runs across the wood surface below. Stamped on the plane's toe is "SHEPLEY" and "J. MARSHALL". Stamped on the heel is "R. WATT" and "17".
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.
