I found that modifying a lead egg sinker for the occasional mushroom weight a lot easier than firing-up the smelter and pouring into a 3-part hardwood mold.

I used a screwdriver as a skew. The lead shaved off in ribbons so there wasn't any dust.

If you try this, I wouldn't recommend sanding lead -- especially without a N100 mask.
