So the real question here is, do you want fine thread or do you just
want it to look that way? If you use a 1/2 inch pitch with a 2 start,
there will be a thread every 1/4 inch. Then you will do the same thing
on the nut. With a 4 start, you will have a thread every 1/8" That
would look real fine but the nut traveling down will still be 1/2"
travel per revolution. As long as you are not trying to match a thread
of an existing thing already threaded, you are free to make it look any
way you wish.

This is 4 threads per inch cut with a 90degree pointed router bit wood
threads are usually 90 degrees where metal are 60 degrees.
Now to do finer threads like 8 threads per inch which is what I would
use on a 2 inch rod you would need to make custom gears.this can be
done with sprockets or with gears both a not a quick job. See the pics
for examples of ones I have made
