If you don't have a lathe, you could probably lag the spool with some epoxy and plastic wrap. Spread a relatively thin (about 1/4 the thickness of your cable) layer of epoxy around the core of the spool, wrap this in plastic wrap, then firmly wind the cable around the plastic wrap in a single layer to shape the epoxy. Remove the cable and (if you can) the plastic, and let the epoxy set. Note that I have not actually done this, so expect to have to experiment a bit.

Of course, I'd recommend an epoxy with a putty-like consistency that gives you at least 10 minutes to work with it.
