So have you guys just been threading that screw/bolt into the wood, and it's held up without loosening up?
Greg,
No risk, no gain. Expand the mold and try new things.

If you tap the hole and then soak it in CA and then tap it again(when it's dry) it's almost like threads in metal.

Not hard to epoxy a couple of threaded inserts in.  You can just use Chicago bolts.

No need to do anything but tap the threads in hardwood.  It holds up quite well.  I used Elm because of the interlocking grain but I'm sure HHB or Hickory would also work well
