Thanks for all the help. It’s greatly appreciated. I’m thinking.a spokeshave may be the best option. Should I get a concave one and what measurements would be best to taper from 1.5 to 1/2 inch? The good thing I suppose about getting a dowel is the base will stay the standard 1.5. It’s just the striking end that needs to be tapered.
