A Ovolo Plane is a woodwork plane designed
for forming ovolo moulds.
Traditionally and most commonly an ovolo plane was a
wooden moulding plane
in the form of a
wooden ovolo moulding plane(s) (C.1700 - 1950).
From the 1880's a new way of producing ovolo's / ovoloes came about in the form of the
multi-plane.
The multi-plane was a plane which came with many different types of cutter including
the ovolo cutter.
Multi-planes with ovolo cutters were manufactured in great numbers for about 100 years in the form of
Stanley 45 Multi-Plane,
Stanley 55 Multi-Plane,
and Record 405 Multi-Plane.
Beyond this came the Clifton Multi-Plane which I think had ovolo cutters.
An ovolo plane mould is a quarter-hollow with a step either side of it (fillet).
The resulting cut is the reverse with the quarter-hollow producing a quarter-round
mould.
Ovolo moulds have been and are a highly popular and common mould.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
