So what was the purpose of the deeper molds?

Dear Tina,

I would be very interested in finding out the depth of the cut of the mould. We have done some experimental work casting flat axes in stone moulds. Our aim was to replicate and use moulds examined at the National Museum of Ireland.  These moulds are cut much deeper than the normal thickness of the axe, and I would be very interested to find out if your moulds were also cut deeply into the stone.
