16 bar molds

Am I the only one who uses this kind?

Nope. I use wood molds too. I have four 18 bar wooden molds that my husband has made for me. I love them and I also line them with freezer paper.

I mostly see people use narrow, tall molds. These are wide and make a 1-2 inch thick bar.

Lets see a side view of the mold. I use wood molds my wonderful son in law made me!

Are they slab molds or loaf molds? Kind of hard to tell just looking from the top.

Mine do look narrower but I use a multi-soap cutter I got from Brambleberry and the soap is a little over an inch thick. Ill take a picture of them soon and post them.

yeah, you can't tell how wide they are by the pic. They are slab molds. I just see so many people with pics of loafs or logs. Is there a reason to prefer one over another? I did sort of a soap apprenticeship and when I left these are the molds my mentor gave me. I've only done these or silicone shapes.

Post a photo of them cut so we can see what you mean by a slab mold. I have a slab mold that is like a big bakeing dish. It is 12.5" by 10.5" ..... so a little bigger than a 13x9 pan. My wooden molds are 20" x 3.5".

My molds are 14x9"
