I made this press a couple months ago. The base and press block are red oak, the sides are curly maple. There is an "access door" for easy plug removal. The cured tobacco plant in the background was the first experimental victim. Later, I will post results in the Tobacco Processing section.
I finished the wood with food-grade cutting board oil, except the inside of the press. I didn't want to taint the baccy with any unwanted flavors.
