Tap Handle (Wrench) Made From Hardwood.

I have a project coming up where I need a 1/4-20 bolt to be screwed into a piece of hardwood.Already having the 1/4-20 tap, I don't have a tap handle.The tap handle is made from cumaru which is a super hard wood and is rated 3330 LBf on the Janka hardness scale.This wood wrench is for tapping wood, not metals.A stainless steel 1/4-20 1/4 set screw was used to hold the tap in the handle.An 1/8 Veritas PM-V11 chisel worked great to square up the small drill hole to hold the small end of the tap.
