The molding plane should arrive today. I'm stoked.
I got the molding plane. The profile that it cuts is close, but not quite right. The reverse ogee that it cuts is "square". THe profile is about 1/2" long on 1/2" stock. The molding in the house is closer to .68-.72" long. It seems based on recommendations online that how many folks would make the molding (if they were doing it by hand) would be to use hollow and round planes in conjunction with a rebate plane.

What I want/need


What I got which is close



What I think would be correct.
Ohio Tool Co


What lots of folks are telling me would be a good way to go instead of trying to find a plane with the perfect profile.
Something like this. Apparently, the way to go is to use a rebate plane to give a "round" someplace to cut for the rear curve, and then use a plane to create a bevel on the front nose to give a hollow something to reference off of.


Now I just need to find H&R that are 1/4" radius.
