I have been trying to revive an old La Cimbali Grinder. Taking out the burrs was the must difficult part since they were stuck.... Brutal force had to be used to take out the screws... The fork and the bottom tray were in a very bad shape, so decided to try to use wood... Here is my advances so far. Next the hopper tray, the doser tray, the tamper (not that I am planning on using it) and the knobs.

Beautiful result Viola !
What do you call that wood ?
I use the attached tamper in my Macap grinder for singles, works much better than any other.
Cheers.

The wood is called guanacaste or conacaste, from a tree called elephant ear tree, it is used to provide shade for coffee plantations
