The wooden ovolo moulding plane is one of the more common moulding planes.
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.
The ovolo mould can also be seen in combination moulds where a moulding
plane has a form of ovolo mould along with another mould such as astragal, scotia etc.
Wooden ovolo moulding planes were produced in abundance probably for
close to 200 years from about the early-1700's to around early-to-mid-1900's.
