EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning piece of craftsmanship - the Compass moulding plane made from cherrywood by the Austrian School in the 18th century. Measuring at 19.4x9.8 cm, this exquisite tool is part of the esteemed David Russell Collection. Carved meticulously from a solid block, this plane's plinth functions as a fixed fence, ensuring precise and accurate cuts. The body and escapement are elegantly curved to the right, while the frog is skillfully skewed for enhanced functionality. A distinguishing feature of this compass moulding plane is its three parallel grooves that run along its sole, adding both aesthetic appeal and practicality to its design. The tapered cutter boasts a scalloped edge that perfectly matches these grooves, creating intricate patterns with every stroke. Adding further intrigue to this remarkable tool is an inscription stamped below a crown: "STALLER / WIEN" signifying its Viennese origin and impeccable quality. This photograph not only captures the beauty of traditional woodworking but also pays homage to skilled carpenters who have utilized similar tools throughout history. It serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise in crafting functional yet visually striking objects from wood. Displayed here by Bridgeman Images, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind such tools and their significant role in shaping our material world.
