I have and old two-piece wooden sash plane ( two molding planes held together with threaded wood) and since I’m into making things more difficult than they should be, I plan to build some windows for a barn. Both the barn and the plane have been in the family for years… I plan to use 1 1/8″ clear grain pine, my test runs on scraps have worked fine. Here’s my question: I have used cope and stick router bits to make cabinet doors. Both bits mate to form the joint where the style and rail meet. With the sash plane, it creates both the beaded profile as well as the rabbit to house the window glass. How do I create the matching profile to make the joint between styles and rails of the window? I plan to use a “bridle” joint. I hope I have provided enough information. I would appreciate any assistance.

If I am not mistaken they did make "coping" planes for shaping the end grain. Otherwise you need a template, "in-cannel" gouges and chisles to form the "cope".
*As Jeff said, the scribe or cope was usually worked mostly with coping saws, firmer and scribing gouges, and other tools. You might consider the other common technique and mitre the mouldings at the corners. Sliante.
