How complex is it to make a wood bottle, or container, that has a screw-on top or cap that fits tight and clean to the base. I guess the real question is - how complex is it to make the threads, etc.
Thx

I'm not a turner.
There _are_ 'tap and die' sets that are made for cutting threads in wooden pieces, however.
You might want to try posting this question on "rec.crafts.woodturning". Ping Fred Holder, he's a regular there. He's written at least one book on the subject. See:
There is a thread cutting attachment for the wood lathe that makes prescision threads in almost anything. DIY Wood turning had a program showing how it works. The commercial ones are fairly pricey, but someone handy with a welder and lathe could build one. Bugs

I think you can also cheat and buy inserts from places like Lee Valley?
