Looking for a specialty plane

I am building a couple of children’s rockers from scratch, I saw somewhere the tools I needed but cannot locate where I saw the items listed to make the seat indentation. There was several listed but I cannot remember what they were called or where I can buy them. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Robert I have made a few chairs, stools and a love seat using a Holey Galahad scooping disc which you attach to a grinder. They have holes around the outer edge so you can see what and how much is being taken off. I got mine at Woodcraft but you might find them online for a lesser price.

Lee Valley has the hand held chair scoops you’re looking for. However, I personally do the exact same thing jack does. I have the same cutters but a Craftsman grinder. Lol its much faster and as Jack said you can see what you’re doing.

Thank you for your rapid response, I’ll look them up online and see if I can find them, not listed in the catalogs I have.

Here is one that fits on a grinder. I’m not sure if this is what you are after but this site has many types.

Wow! I know what I’m ordering Asap! Thanks guys for sharing that info. I have made several chairs and had to make new seats for several that I have restored and I have been doing it the old fashioned way. Hand chiseling every bit of it! This will definitely make my job a lot easier and faster.

I ordered mine through woodcraft and also the universal mounting nut since it wouldn’t fit my Milwaukee which is really old.
