An alternative to turning the inside of an 8" tom is to ....not. Perhaps use a rasp or Microplane type file to hand-shape the chamfer on the inside edge. That would be a fun bit of Neanderthal-flavored woodworking.
A second alternative is to find a turner or machine shop to turn the inside. This might be a case where "buying" a result instead of "making" a result would be a benefit.
Cheers,
