The front door of the press was cypress, grey with age and split along the grain. Everyone told us to replace it.
Kostas, a carpenter from Lakka, took it apart plank by plank, cleaned the iron, and put it back together with new pegs and old wood. It still sticks a little in August. We would not change it.
