    I agree with Neil. Mount between centres and turn round. Fit a ferrule if needed to the top at the headstock end. Turn to shape with the taper on the tailstock end using a revolving centre. Remove the tailstock from the job, mark a chalk line on the taper and check the fit by rotating the chisel. The cone centre should accurately fit back into the hole on the end of the cone. Polish if necessary. When the fit is satisfactory, part the surplus timber off from the headstock end with the long point of a skew. No real need for a chuck.
