advice on creating wood grain soap

[beckie lloyd]

Hi, I am a soap maker, had a small home based business for 6 years now. I have a customer who would like wood grain looking soap for her wedding for favors. I have googled and you tubed for videos, but everything is for cold process soap.. I cannot find anything for melt and pour. I love the swirling effect i saw where they pour into each of 4 corners and then they meet in the middle and the whole thing gets swirled.. Im pretty sure i can do this with melt and pour but wondering if i can get it all poured before it starts to set.
Any advice or suggestions would be great..
TY..

I have seen wood-grain sheets for fondant. You could use that to get the texture, at least.

We had a "ribbon pour" challenge that produced some wood-grain looking soaps:

I wonder if it could be adapted for mp?
