Roman Ogee. Leica/Lumix Macro-Elmarit 45mm

The Romans are infamous known for their ogees.  In this case though, it's just the name of a molding profile.

I am experimenting as I develop drawings for a set of bedside tables.  The molding around the top will probably have this profile.  My Blip shows the cutter - #95 - which creates this shape.  It fits into the venerable Stanley #55 combination plane which we have previously met here  The plane originally came from the Stanley Works with 55 optional molding and slotting cutters.  It's the most remarkable tool, ingenious, - yet difficult to use.  It needs a light touch and a lot of patience to make it cut just so, but it can be done.
The image is magnified about 12x.
