MichelleOH Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well, that is hard question. I have both the slab and log. I like them both. I have upland molds. If I want a swirl I use the slab. If I want a marble effect or textured top I use the log. Sorry I'm not much help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Depends on what you want to do. I do about 1/2 of mine in a log mold. If I want to swirl fancy, I use a slab. I also do my thicker chunky cut in a slab. Slabs for me get more ash, and are harder for me to insulate (they don't fit in the oven). My slabs can also do logs - the sides on one of them are 3" tall.. My log molds can also do slab work, when I pour 1" high. So I'm pretty multipurpose. DH built them all. I've got 2 logs and 2 slabs.

Meridith Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I have an Uplands mold, a heavy duty plastic slab mold, 2 wood log molds and a new wood mold that doubles as both a slab mold and a log mold. I am still searching for that mold to beat all molds but haven't found it so far. I do like my Uplands because of the liner but its hard to cut a straight line. I am still looking at a Kelsies mold or the slab mold that Brambleberry sells since a gal I work with has it and just loves it. I haven't yet decided if I prefer a slab or a log mold. So far, I guess I would say that my favorite it my Southern Belle wood log mold. I do know though that I prefer wood molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I have all log molds.....I bought my first one and had one of the carpenters here at my office make the rest......free is always good!!! I tried a slab mold and just didn't like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 What other said.Slab - swirlsLogs - everything else, botanicals on top, etc.I'd love to get me a block mold and a splitter. Then I could do my swirls, cut into logs and then bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
