Are you getting more than a couple of revolutions before you contact the stop, if so it’s not the threading stop?
Are you trying to face a large part to the center?
Otherwise, you are at the mechanical limits of the machine, unsure if you made a spacer to go under the handle if you could actually machine to the center of your part?
Usually, you would just shift the tool post or compound to allow the tool to cut the larger diameter......post some pictures of your setup?

The problem is no one here knows the nature of wood! All that you need to do is, attach a piece of steel to use as guide on the compound rest set at the angle you want, and use a proper wood turning tool, fed by hand to do the job-remember it is wood, not pre hard 4140. But, if it is something like Snakewood, that is a different situation.
One would think, the "Drunk Hick in the Barn" might know something about wood!
"Oh, surely. Yah figure right about two feet might do it? Or over on the bench, t'other side of the shop?
I mean yah have that internal taper, so yah have to keep the center out of the way to git a bar down into it."
Looks like not! yah yah yah...

I am trying to back the compound out past whatever is stopping it.There is nothing wrong with the compound. turning the handle CCW.
