How to hold work for a plow plane (if it's not very wide)

Pls discuss, not sure the best way.

For instance, if I want to plane a 1/4" groove into the face of a 3" wide board. With a plow plane

Is it possible with a conventional bench, or do I need to start with a wider board, or do I need some special clamps and/or dog/hold-down holes?

More color:

I have the lie-nielsen workbench and the veritas small plow plane. The width of the plow plane on both sides would hit work-holding apparatus if the board can't be held far from the groove.

Don't see why you couldn't hold it between bench dogs, or with a clamp or hold down. at 3 inch wide, I am assuming that the groove is near the edge, like for a drawer bottom.

You CAN build the jig on a scrap 1×6. Add the hold-downs where needed. One hold-down on each end. The long strip across the back can be adjusted to the width you need..

Been using ones like this, ever since the Stanley 45 showed up in my shop, last year.
