I've always cut in one pass (I have a set of cheapo tap and dies I got
about 30 years ago to experiment with. My biggest is 1").
Use a good straight, tight grained wood. I always cut them dry, and used
the "1 turn in, 1/2 turn out" rule. Never had any real problems if I made
my own dowels. Store bought dowels never worked for crap though.
