Tools: Plane for interior-concave surfaces *PIC*

I'd like to know what everyone is using to smooth the inside.
In the past I've used a mini-grinder with 60 grit and even a Japanese shaping plane (c in photo). Two extremes.

I think I'm going to build a wooden plane using one of my block plane blades similar to the above shaping planes but larger.
I probably need one for tight radiuii and another for wider flat areas.

Has anyone used a pull shave?
