Round molding plane comprised of three parts, a rectangular wooden body with an angled cutout through the middle and a curved round profile on the sole (a), a wooden wedge piece that tapers to a point at the bottom and has a rounded top (b), and a iron with a wide curved blade to match the round profile (c). The wedge and the iron fit together inside the plane and the wedge holds the iron in place as it cuts. Stamped on the toe is "A. MONTY." followed by three star symbols, and then "ROXTON POND.P.O." as well as "I BLOWER". Stamped on the heel is "2" and "0", as well as "I BLOWER", and the numbers "248". There is also a piece of tape on the proper left side of the top of the plane with "95 JS" written in it in pencil.
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.
