The planes do seem to work better than the tall english ones, you can more easily be on top of it while pulling or pushing. The single planes I have are not working that great, have a lot of trouble to align toe and heel of the plane to cut straight. They are pain to sharpen too. Glad you like those edges.

I can check the book, I remember something about trimmings there, but my first bet would be a scratch stock. That's something I really want to try actually.

The arch I would need to make has two radii that define the curve, so no custom sun moulding planes. Apparently its either hand carve the thing, or build a tilting router table. I do not feel passionately towards my router, kinda look at the thing out of the corner of my eye even though its useful. I would much rather just do the work instead of building a machine to do the work. Have you tried hand carving curved molding profiles? I seem to remember you getting a book on curved work.Gabe D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05809883477919665827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-88789344690446763672016-07-29T01:26:55.215-07:002016-07-29T01:26:55.215-07:00Poplar I'm using a lot for carpentry in house,...Poplar I'm using a lot for carpentry in house, barn , etc. There is plenty of it growing around here and it's not expensive to have the sawer come and mill it. Nothing wrong there. Since proportion is not really my strong point and it is so important in moulding work I'm usually working off of patterns already worked out or right from a single plane. You've got a nice highlight on the edges of the hollow. It is certainly getting away from Japanese work as I know it since they don't seem to have much use for the concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
