Aww thank you' so sweetGo Peachy, go peachy!!
. I just finished & now it's tucked away for the night. I over thought everything' don't over SB' Is the color right? its off i'll add more of this & that' FO & EO don't add all that is allowed cant have it accelerate' poured the batter' did my up & down then counter clockwise for final step' last thought if this is what the design is gonna looks like I'm screwed, bawhahaha. Final thought' Now How In The Heck To I Cut This! 
.Good Luck To All' Such Beautiful Soap's My Goodness.
@Peachy Clean Soap Hope this helps, otherwise I think some of the videos explain the cut.
Loaf placed upright:
I________I
Cut blocks whatever width you want for the face of your bars:
I__I__I__I
Then cut those blocks in half through the middle, so if the loaf were reassembled upright the cuts would be here:
I---I---I---I
If the top and bottom of the blocks are to your left and right when you cut down, the cut will be on the correct plane.

Reach out if you need any help. GemstonePony gave a good map to follow, and the pictures in the beginning of the thread or the videos that are linked can be helpful.Final thought' Now How In The Heck To I Cut This!

Thank You' I appreciate your detail & drawing' I think I got it.
I'm gonna take a look' Thank you Dear
Made two more attempts but I think I’ll stick with my original in the entry thread. First was made with ultramarine, chrome oxide, iron oxide, and beta carotene, scented with sage and lemongrass. Second was all natural colorants- rhubarb root, annatto, and alkanet, scented with cardamom and lavender. Feel like I was getting the hang of the swirling by the end.
Those are lovely!

Just curious, is it possible to do Taiwan Swirl with M&P? Has anyone tried?
BTW, saw all the pics in entry thread, so beautiful. Hoping I can try these in few months(CP Newbie here).

Not by any means an expert with M&P, but the colors would all have to stay both distinct from each other and fluid while being swirled. I think it would be very challenging, but if you attempt it, let us know how it went.
