H&R moulding plane irons.

[Stewie Simpson]

I have an upcoming project to make myself a partial set of hollow and round Moulding Planes. Initially I plan to start within the lower range of H&Rs 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2", and if all go's well expand that range to include 3/4" and 1". The wood species being trialed for the main stock including wedges will be rift sawn Snakewood Dellinnia. The following photo's show the recently completed lower range of H&R irons. The initial stages of annealing and later re-hardening the irons were included during this process.
