Okay, for my own curiosity, I had to try. I took a piece of 1/2" oak dowel, because oak is all I had, and shaped it tapered like a pen barrel. I then tried to put threads on it using a Sorby's small spiral cutter. I only spent a short time on this just to see what would happen. It will make the threads and with a denser wood and more time it might be pretty convincing. Yes I went the wrong way and I have a left handed screw, but you get the idea.
