1) Whittle it with a knife.
2) Sand it with sandpaper.
3) File it with a file.
4) Lightly saw a shoulder line around the dowel, then Chisel from the end down to the shoulder.
5) Crimp it with pliers.
6) Put it on a lathe or in a drill to shave, grind or sand it down (pliers work really great here).
