Working on cutting threads

[Rocking RP]

After a couple of YouTube vids and attempts yesterday on learning how to cut threads. Here is box i made today from Osage orange. Not best for making threads, but good practice. Didn't completely match up on top meeting bottom, but will continue to improve. Will use some woods more suited for threads for next attempts. Using 16 tip Robert Sorby thread tools.

The grainy woods like that, I suspect may need treated with cactus juice before threading. Even that may not completely fix the tear out issues.

That's always been on my list to try, but haven't yet.

I'd call that a very good first go at it. There are threads and they work together.

You can see from that comment I'm already lowering my expectations for when I try cutting threads...

Nice box. Great first box with threads.

Admirable job! I was surprised to hear OO was not suitable for cutting threads. Wonder what species would be the ones to choose fort threads. Chuck

That came out great!
I've tried a few times with mostly failed projects.

I have a threaded coco and boxwood box. Those 2 work well.
