Thanks. I ended up using a stepped bit inside the knob to sink my threads enough so that the base ends up flush with the leather boot when the knob is screwed on. If I had it to do over again I would have made the whole piece slightly shorter (maybe by 0.5"-.75"), but I like it enough that I'm not going to bother making another.
