Making an internal threaded tube to hold it would work also, but the steps involved are more than starting from scratch.
You could also try to protect the threads and install the piece in the lathe chuck. I would use a four jaw as opposed to a three to spread the load around . (Less pressure on four points instead of three). There might be a little damage to the threads at four points, but you can clean that up and they will still work. I would try some thicker plastic on the jaws of the chuck. Heat it slightly before tightening down. I have also got lucky with stuff like this using large heat shrink tubing. I used two layers and not a scratch on the threads.

Must have been very hard to have it and have to wait.

Not particularly, I am a patient person. Some of my builds has been ten years in the planning..

Long term thinking and planning. That's what I would expect from a maester.
I have mine for just a couple of years, since I have started only 3 years ago;)

Yes let’s have some more pictures from those lucky enough to have Oyang cased beauties.
