What sort of plane does one use to "clean up" the concave side of a
piece of stock? In case it's not clear, I don't mean this in a snarky
way; I'm not knowledgeable enough for that yet.

I mean, I'm guessing such special-purpose planes exist, but is there
something I'm missing here? Could such a thing be reasonably done with a
standard block plane?



That would be called a compass plane. The shoe will flex concave or convex.

Fine Woodworking #227 has a nice article on them.
