Oops! I added it to my previous post just now. I plead distraction for the best of reasons -- I was in the midst of making some cheese! (Lancashire this time)

Lignum Vitae is available but not cheap if you are looking for large pieces. http://www.bellforestproducts.com/lignum-vitae/wood-blanks/
I have turned a few crochet hooks from it and love the way it holds up.

I'm still visualising it all made of wood.....

Mal, I've updated the thread on making this press to include a modified version of the plans for all-wood construction: https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,14493.30.html

Thanks for the updated drawings.  I just need to score some wood...
