The 'v' shape has me going, because what use is it. A plane shaves off a flat coil of wood, whether straight, angled or v-shaped. The edge of the blade is actually carved in the shape of the molding profile (like a key, if that makes sense) to plane moldings. This v is in the opposite direction for a molding, I believe. Perhaps it was used on the out side edges of a violin, or along the very thin edge of a piece of the violin face before it was glued in place to make a beveled edge or even a pointed edge?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
