A friend gave me some cedar fragrance and I was pondering how I was going to use it… I saw this video and knew it would be PERFECT (if I could pull it off….)… I tried my 3rd-ever loaf of soap with this technique last night… I am SO thrilled with the look of the loaf!! And I really can’t wait to cut into it and see what it reveals!!! Thank you so much for sharing this! This new soaper went from intimidated to inspired in 20 minutes!! 😻
I can't believe this technique is so simple! 20 years of soap making and I will finally be trying this TODAY, thanks to your wonderful video. Many thanks to you!!🥰
Oh my goodness, how easy! I used squeezy bottles the first time I tried a woodgrain technique and it gooped everywhere out of the bottle beside the nozzle. Not a good experience but I loved the technique. Thank you so much for showing an easier way!!
Thank you for making the pour slow, and not time lapsing it like a lot of other videos show. I wanted to see exactly how the swirls were done. Now I get the idea. Not sure I can do this with my hot process soap, but maybe one day I will try.
Love this I tried it and it worked perfectly. I used Brambleberry Sandalwood and Vanilla it was great to work with. Smells so good and now my family took all my bars! Thank you for this tutorial.
This is an old video I know but I was looking for how to woodgrain with the fo as the colors. But honestly love the tops and hope I can recreate that specific part because to me, it looks like bark. Which is why I picked this video to watch when I seen it I thought it was intentional! Off to subscribe to you!
I made this! I'm new to soaping. My first attempt looked exactly like bleeding meat with oozing and holes . Lol. Dared to try again. It looked perfect and it was hard! I wish I could show you!
That is some of the coolest looking soap I've ever seen. Straight up looks just like some of the wood I cut on a daily basis. I bet it smells great, too!
I was one of the ladies on IG who asked you to upload your video cos your wood grain bars are the best that I have seen thus far. Thanks Whitney. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa
I've probably watched this three times! I just love it so much! 🥰 I'm definitely going to try this tomorrow for Father's Day gifts. Thank you so much for sharing!
I need to thank you for posting this! I just retried making a wood grain soap after several tries other ways this video truly helped me get a gorgeous soap that resembled wood!
Thats awesome! I seen this soap and thought "omg how would you make that! I bet it takes forever! " Thank you for taking the time and showing your technic.
I know! I repeated myself on that a few times, but it's the takeaway point, as so many are often convinced it's going to be much harder then it really is.
This is so awesome! And you could make the top look like bark if you can't get it flat. Then you could sell those pieces as "Live Edge" bars. Great video!
That is by far the coolest soap technique I've ever seen thus far!!! So cool!! I wished I could do cold process soaps. Too many things involved for that. Melt and pour isn't as versatile.
Glad you like them! I know it's a little silly sometimes, but I really enjoy being sarcastic, and it helps relieve the oddity of hearing what silly things I said!
I can't decide if you were happy about the bacon soap, or not, as I have a few friends who have been on a bacon making soap kick, so it could go either way!
I am going to definitely try this method, it seems so much easier than the squeeze bottle method I have been using for wood grain styles. Plus those squeeze bottles are so hard to clean!
New subscriber, new soaper, old goat lady! Ok I’m not THAT old! Lol great design, thanks for the video, I thought my husband was the only one that didn’t like my goats, and I am hoping he doesn’t know how to count! Lol I’ve been raising goats for 10 yrs, so I get you! Goat and horse peeps have to stick together! I was a licensed vet tech so I have all kinds of critters as well! I think this is a great design, I actually tried my hand at it today, so I’ll see if it turns out any where near as good as yours! Thanks for sharing your craft! Thank you for what you do as a nurse as well!
Mine can count some days sadly, so I try and shuffle everyone around a bunch to hide things from him 😂😂😂 I bet your woodgrain will cut perfectly! Tag me on Insta or FB so I can see the pictures if you want! :)
Im in love with this design, ive watched this at least 10 times. Thank you for showing your technique for this design, i want to make this for my husband now. Lol new subscriber for sure! Very talented!! love it
I love your tutorials! I always learn something new. This is a beautiful soap! One of my favorite scents is dragons blood that turns a dark brown… Now I know what to do with it! AND… I have had a hard time wrapping my head around cutting my loaf soaps that way… Thank you so very much for showing us how to do that! I don’t know why my brain couldn’t figure that out 🤷🏼♀️😝 thank you so much again!
Absolutely one of the best videos I’ve seen. It’s fun and you make this look doable for a newer soaper. Imagine the real trick is to find the right soap recipe and then exploring with the FOs. I’m learning which lye concentration I can work with, as my preferred setting. I’ve tried 35% down to 20%. Lol. Let’s say 35% was a panic. Thank you Thank you for these fabulous videos! Ps. Mr. Cheeky looked quite grand on your wedding day. Now, a pic of you, the lovely bride!
This is so cool! I'm ordering all the things that I need in order to make this wood soap. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm Lustration soaps on IG. I've been thinking about this all morning while running errands and had a questions lol. So essentially this can be done using only 3 colors? I wanna try it again today but have been thinking about doing a purple one 🤔
This method is FAR simpler and I appreciate you filming it and showing/explaining how to cut the soap properly (it was a little confusing before your video). I also love the two-in-one design with the line pour and wood grain designs depending on how you cut it. I adore this FO by Muddy Soap Co. It is such an intoxicating fragrance and I fell in love with it immediately. I did sadly learn the hard way how much this FO discolors and bleeds into unscented batter lol, it completely overwhelmed my blues, gold and white 😅. It’s a favorite though and will stick around. Thanks for sharing
Oh yes, this FO is a Naughty one as far as color and fragrance bleed! It's lucky it smells so great, as in that department, it's a bit of a bear! I am so glad you enjoyed the video though!
Sorry for the delayed response, I’m not always great at seeing these (aka I’m terrible at it) I’m not sure it would, as usually I fused vanilla is in alcohol and that doesn’t always go well in CP soap😅
Wow, Whitney! Way to use a discoloring FO to great advantage! So gorgeous! Thank you for doing it again--and recording it :)--so we can see how you do it. (And I really enjoy your "cheeky" commentary!)
These are just gorgeous! It really looks like wet wood...I have tried this technique and had an utter failure which is making me nervous to ever try again. I will watch your video over and over to get the nerve up again! You are a great teacher - love the tips!
I'm going to try this tonight. I'm using an ice cream bar box lined with plastic grocery bags as my mold. It's the right shape to make bars that I can cut in the direction to show the wood grain look. I'm planning to use cedarwood essential oil as the scent.
@@CheekyGoatSoapery thank you! And thank you for the inspiration! I am not sure this first batch will turn out but hoping it might be a pleasant surprise. I focused too much on avoiding a fast trace and replaced my usual grapeseed oil, mango butter and coconut oil with plain old soybean oil, and didn't add any honey. The result was very thin trace that I'm not sure actually was trace because of all the smudged on my glasses and goggles. The good points are that I am happy with the colors I blended with various clays and oxides. And the box idea held up without leaking. Update: it looked like the oil was separating out so I poured it back into a mixing bowl, made sure it actually got to trace, separated into thirds and recolored two of them by adding titanium dioxide to the chocolate brown mixture that resulted from reblending. Then poured it again in the manner you demonstrated. It turned out good. Not as nice as yours, but I am happy with it.
Love this!!! Tried similar technique but couldn’t figure out the knots and my EO was BADDDDD. Bottom looked awesome, top might have been mostly scooped in. Going to try cutting the direction you suggested on my next attempt! Thanks for the videos!!
This is simply fabulous! What a beautiful design!
I’ve just done completed another video with your amazing (and Best coffee EVER) fragrance, Espresso. I’ll be sharing it soon!
@@CheekyGoatSoapery We can't wait! Tag us with #BrambleOn so we can always find them!
Thank you for showing us how to make this wood design. It is beautiful. 💜
I have watched this video SO many times. I love this technique. It is the only way I do my woodgrain pours.
Awww this totally made my night! Thank you! 😊
@@CheekyGoatSoaperyyou are welcome. I am watching it right now. 😊
A friend gave me some cedar fragrance and I was pondering how I was going to use it… I saw this video and knew it would be PERFECT (if I could pull it off….)…
I tried my 3rd-ever loaf of soap with this technique last night…
I am SO thrilled with the look of the loaf!! And I really can’t wait to cut into it and see what it reveals!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! This new soaper went from intimidated to inspired in 20 minutes!! 😻
Oh this made my night! And you are a fellow equestrian?! Love it! Tag me on your socials- I want to see the cut!! ❤
Nice video, love the grain, next time please show,the grain after the color fully sets, to see the completed look
I will :) 🥰🙌
this is the most beautiful woodgrain soap I've ever seen! so impressive
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful soap design 👏👏👏
I can't believe this technique is so simple! 20 years of soap making and I will finally be trying this TODAY, thanks to your wonderful video. Many thanks to you!!🥰
Oh I hope it came out perfect! So sorry I’m late to respond!!!
Thanks for sharing...love it!👍👍🙂
Oh my goodness, how easy! I used squeezy bottles the first time I tried a woodgrain technique and it gooped everywhere out of the bottle beside the nozzle. Not a good experience but I loved the technique. Thank you so much for showing an easier way!!
So happy to help! I also did it the squeeze bottle way the first time, and had no idea how much easier it could be! 😂
My love for nature has me screaming inside. I think this might be my favorite bar of soap I’ve ever seen. 😍 🌲🤎
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for making the pour slow, and not time lapsing it like a lot of other videos show. I wanted to see exactly how the swirls were done. Now I get the idea. Not sure I can do this with my hot process soap, but maybe one day I will try.
Some of y’all hot process soap makers are sheer crazy with what you can do. I’ve seen some pretty fluid HP. I bet you could! Have you tried yet?
@@CheekyGoatSoapery I have not. My soap doesn't stay fluid for long. Maybe one day I will try.
Love this I tried it and it worked perfectly. I used Brambleberry Sandalwood and Vanilla it was great to work with. Smells so good and now my family took all my bars! Thank you for this tutorial.
I’m so glad it worked well for you! Thank you for letting me know.
Don’t be whimpy just push it 😂😂😂 this is why I love to watch you! You are just so real about it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can’t remember to behave when it’s shot live like I usually do… May as well be real about it. 😂
Quel design fabuleux ! On jurerait un morceau de bois ! Et finalement la technique est relativement simple. Bravo !!
Thank you! 🥰🥰
I have a friend who runs a saw mill. I'm thinking I'm gonna try this for him. I love this!
Yasss! Do it! Tag me in your creations, I love to see them!

Hello Whitney, thank you for sharing this tutorial. Phantastic soap. Best greetings from Germany, Marion.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for leaving a nice comment!
Such a nicer way to do the wood grain soap! I will now try this again. Hate squeeze bottles....
Me too! 😭
Love this so much! Thank you!
You have made this so much easier to make and understand how to cut, they are absolutely beautiful. Thank you
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!
I was one of the ladies on IG who asked you to upload your video cos your wood grain bars are the best that I have seen thus far. Thanks Whitney.
Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa
YAY! It's so hard to know who is who across social media platforms, so thank you for letting me know you were one, and that you did enjoy it!!
@@CheekyGoatSoapery You're welcome☺️💐
You really are a great teacher, Whitney!
That looks so cool! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for making this simple and love the humor ;)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🥰🥰 It’s an easy soap to make!
You made this so easy wow,when i saw the soap i said "woood design will bus my brains, lolz) but wow. I will be doing this.
Extremely easier than I thought!!! Fabulous!
Glad you liked it! Tag me in your creations if you make one, I love to see them!

Absolutely beautiful so glad to see no squeeze bottles!
I am *all* about less soap dishes!
Wow that's the best one I've seen yet, the woodgrain is perfection
Thank you! so simple to make as well!
Can’t wait to try this!
I hope you made it and was successful!!
This is AMAZING!!!! Thank you so MUCHHHHH for sharing!! ❤❤❤
I need to thank you for posting this! I just retried making a wood grain soap after several tries other ways this video truly helped me get a gorgeous soap that resembled wood!

Super cool!! Adding it to my "to-try" list!! Thank you.
Yours are the most realistic wood grain I've ever seen!
Thats awesome! I seen this soap and thought "omg how would you make that! I bet it takes forever! " Thank you for taking the time and showing your technic.
Super simple right??
“See told you guys it was easy”
..that looked damn complicated to me but allllllright!
It is easy… it just looks a little weird until you give it a go. I promise!
Ooooooo.. I love these! ❤️
Thanks for sharing.
I was looking for an Excellent wood design and here it is!!! Amazing!! Thank you M’am. ⭐️🌺🌸
You are so welcome!
Much easier than I thought, thanks.
You're welcome!
“Sorry Lisa” made me literally laugh out loud.
I almost always say something to her- she’s the only reason I ever started Making videos. 😂
These are so good! And I was so surprised that it's not a complicated pour.
I know! I repeated myself on that a few times, but it's the takeaway point, as so many are often convinced it's going to be much harder then it really is.
The most realistic woodgrain poor I have ever seen thank you for sharing it looks incredible
Hey Whitney, from another, nice to meet you. This is an exquisite soap.
Yassss 👏 Us Whitney’s need to stick together!
Super pretty!
Thank you!
This is so awesome! And you could make the top look like bark if you can't get it flat. Then you could sell those pieces as "Live Edge" bars. Great video!

Glad you like them! I know it's a little silly sometimes, but I really enjoy being sarcastic, and it helps relieve the oddity of hearing what silly things I said!
That’s one of the reasons I like your channel 😊
I've tried this pour once prior to watching your video and honest to goodness it looks like bacon!
I can't decide if you were happy about the bacon soap, or not, as I have a few friends who have been on a bacon making soap kick, so it could go either way!
So beautiful!!!
So much easier than I dreamed! And GORGEOUS! Beginning soaper here - you make that look so doable! Thank you!
It is So easy! Try it if you haven't already! And please tag me in your creations on your socials. I love to see work inspired by mine.
That's really cool, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind comment! It keeps me wanting to share my work :)
Your welcome 😎🧼💕
I love the look of this one 👍
Thank you! Me too!
How on earth did this color become so brown? It's awesome 👌 I need advice 😅
The magic of vanillan in soap! It discolors really really dark!
I am going to definitely try this method, it seems so much easier than the squeeze bottle method I have been using for wood grain styles. Plus those squeeze bottles are so hard to clean!
They really really are a pain. Love what they can do. HATE the Clean up.
I think it's very cool. Also, when it's cut the other way, it looks like a Ribeye steak, if it was reddish in color, it would look more like a Ribeye.
Wow! 'Just found your channel -excellent work!
Excited to try this technique❤️

Thanks for a GREAT video! Do you think an infused vanilla would work the same for colorant? I'm trying to use all natural ingredients.
Sorry for the delayed response, I’m not always great at seeing these (aka I’m terrible at it) I’m not sure it would, as usually I fused vanilla is in alcohol and that doesn’t always go well in CP soap😅
Hello, can we do this technique with melt and pour?
Huh. 🧐 you know that is a good question. I bet it would, but it’s going to be tricky
Wow, Whitney! Way to use a discoloring FO to great advantage! So gorgeous! Thank you for doing it again--and recording it :)--so we can see how you do it. (And I really enjoy your "cheeky" commentary!)
I’m so glad it entertains you, I do try! And a good discoloring FO is really something to be treasured Imo. It can help a design along.
❤
This method looks way easier with a well behaved fragrance of course lol. Thanks for sharing. ♥️
Oh absolutely!
U make that easy af 😮
That’s the idea! 🤣🥳
Beautiful!!!❤
Thank you!
Wow ingenius!
