You've got plenty of good suggestions above.

I'll add that when I did a job like this, I finished by lapping the last 1/2
thousand in. Just take an old drill, cut the tang off, grind a couple
pockets along the side of the drill. Then apply lapping compound, clamp the
drill in the tailstock drill chuck, and run the lathe slow. You'll have a
mirror finish and a perfect taper.
