| Thread chasing is done quite readily in hard, dense woods like this cocobolo |
The threads can be formed and are sturdy |
Petter has developed a way to do threads in epoxy for woods more difficult to thread |
The epoxy is inlaid and then the threads are cut much like they would be in wood |

| With the top and bottom of a box threaded, Petter can use multiple centers to create many sides |
Because it is way out of balance, care must be used in turning |
A look at the 6 twisted sided box with threaded lid |
The threads are very sturdy and hold up well |
