Wooden planes have been used for centuries by carpenters as a tool to remove thin pieces of wood and create decorative elements. They typically consist of a blade, sometimes called an iron, encased in a piece of wood and held in place by a wedge. This item is an example of a moulding plane, and features two blades. Sometimes called a complex plane, the shape of the blades creates a more decorative finish on the edges of furniture or architecture. It is also referred to as a dedicated plane because it is only capable of producing one kind of moulding profile.
