If it is a standard size, use the appropriate metal tap. Maple, lignum vitae
and likely a lot of other woods have been tapped that way for many many
years.

Hi
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can anyone point me in
the right direction for ways to make a short thread in wood.
Its for my father to repair a hinged mirror, I've been on Google and can't
find anything really suitable.
TIA
Anthony
