6dogs gave you the correct steer.

Mum used to make our butter when I was a kid, we couldn`t afford a press but Mum had two "pattyy" boards that were like table tennis bats only rectangular. She would pat the butter into a block shape.

I don`t know why,she always cut it up and put it on a saucer to put on the table, may be it was an attempt on her part to bring a little bit of class to our home.

I have seen other wooden butter presses similar to the ones on 6dogs site except they had a wooden thread with a cross handle on it that went on top of the press and it was screwed down so shaping the butter.
Oh for the simple days.
