Byrnes does a lot of the crafting of soaps, oils and other products. Dotta is more behind the scenes as he builds soap molds and displays and does deliveries. Soap is the most labour-intensive product. It requires a lot of mixing, and then must sit in a mold for 12 hours after being poured.

The pair are keeping their options wide open in regards to future endeavours of Wolf and Pine.
“We just want it to grow organically and we will see what happens,” Dotta said.
