If you know of some good literature on the process, please pass it on.
Aw, shucks, do it, and donate the proceeds to FR :-)

This linked website is my only reference, I remember my mother making soap with lye and she said she had seen it done with wood ashes, the only drawback she mentioned was that it was more work. The website describes what sounds like an accurate way to test the strength of the solution by using a homemade tool to determine specific gravity. They recommend hardwood ashes only and I found it interesting that they recommend Apple wood ashes for white soap. Only rainwater is recommended for the leaching process so as to avoid minerals, I would probably use water from a dehumidifier.
Please see story under headline Obama praises intelligence community here on FR check out post 17 linked below.

Are these the wolves at the door you are referencing that we should shoot, shovel and shut up?
Yep! It's been many, many decades since that was a 100% valid statement.
Individuals have been subjected to ever increasing numbers of quietly draconian laws that eat away at individual freedom & liberty for a long time.
However, beginning with RICO, the growth in these laws has accelerated enormously.....particularly since 1994 when the Republocrats gained controlled of congress.
Truth be told, excluding the frenzy of the final unstoppable rush into tyranny that began last January, the most massive increases in the number of these specious laws occurred primarily under the GOP-controlled Congresses of the 90's and 2000's.
Neither party has earned the trust of people who wish merely to be left alone.
Why am I just finding out now?
This seems like something that should have been big news at the time. One post to FR and our minions would have been all over it.
How is the government keeping this nonsense quiet?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was posted here a few years ago. Not likely it would be found in any search.
They should have just planted a few grams of pot on the lady. Then half the people here would be cheering.
I said literal wolves and that is what I meant, read the post 84 to which I was replying.
Candidates running on a platform to only introduce and vote for repealing laws are the future.
Yep you read it rigth! 2 years in jail for Orchids, child molesters ziltch!
Nope. Not any more. Certainly not with the fascist Marxists in control of everything.
Literal wolves are one thing. The ones in AZ and NM have collars on them and you will go to jail for shooting.
We have all kinds of wolves at our doors these days, even humans that have a pack mentality and we need to wise up now before they stalk us. (By the way, just because I am paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t there.)
I have watched/studied the power of this community organizing network for years and their misuse of Government at all levels. Obama has placed very radical people in positions of power and they do have a pack mentality.
Let that be. Laws should be few and clear.
Hardwood ashes in a flower pot makes the best lye you can’t buy.
