it comes with a nifty cutter, you just line it with freezer paper, remove soap, take off paper, put it back in the mold and cut it with the cutter when its all done. I have used it once but I am SO used to the molds I have now this one makes bars that are little thinner and about an inch taller and its just messing with my head ;)
This is a link to the ebay auction I bought it from...
NEW WOOD WOODED SOAP MOLD MAKES 21 BARS - (eBay item 270168799405 end time Sep-28-07 17:42:12 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-WOOD-WOODED-SOAP-MOLD-MAKES-21-BARS_W0QQitemZ270168799405QQihZ017QQcategoryZ28116 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
It's really cool, makes 21 bars, 3 3/4 X 2 1/4 X 1 3/4 (or however deep you would like to pour your soap) holds roughly somewhere around 5-6 lbs of oil when poured to an inch or so, more if you fill it deeper. My soap I poured si roughly an inch thick and weighs 4.7 ounces, but will probably drop a little bit as it cures longer. but its easily over 4 ounces per bar-which is 5.25 pounds total.

here is a batch of soap that I made in it so you can see how the lining works

I actually cut this batch with the paper on it, which made it a little tougher, so if you took the paper out first, it would be MUCH smoother :D
I also got some basswood/balsawood to make a divider so you can make 2 different kinds of soap in it at the same time. Just line the mold as usual, then wrap soap around the divider and cutt eh paper at teh cutting lines where you want to divide it. (this is my other mold, but I just wanted to show you how I did it)

I got a teeny bit of soap on it, I can take a picture to show you if this bothers you.
I would like paypal or trade for any of the following Shea butter,cocoa butter, hemp butter, coffee butter, soap boxes from kangaroo blue, meatballer for bath bombs, indigo powder... Madder root powder, Ylang Ylang EO, Patchouli EO, Geranium EO (rich good floral) Bulgarian Lavender EO(or any good strong floral lavender, not 40/42) Lemon EO, Nag Champa fragrance oil safe for CP/CPOP or try me :D
