Ser. 24001 Model UWLT0715 Cremation Urn

Urn, Walnut, Lacquer, Threaded lid 7" diameter X 15" high. The wood came from a yard tree cut in the fall of 2022 and rough turned during the winter of 22-23. The lid, with Celtic cross is threaded at 8TPI X 3" male, the body has the mating female thread and extra tolerance between them to account for future seasonal movement. I have not yet measured the cubic inch volume.
Really nice work.
What TPI thread is that and do you have any trouble threading walnut?
The thread is 8TPI by about 3" diameter.
Walnut is not a problem other then my hand made bit does not have any relief to it and that may be causing some chipping of the point of the thread.
 
So do you thread with a chaser or some type of jig?
I have a LaBlond metal lathe, which can be set as coarse as 4TPI and I have an adaptor for the headstock spindle to convert to 1 1/4-8 thread so I can accurately mount my wood turning chucks. The cross slide I mount a trim router with a two flute carbide bit and I can then cut just about any thread pitch I can think of except metric. I would post a picture but they are all on my hard drive and this requires a url.
 
Thanks to all for the comments and likes.
