Stupid question, couldn’t resist. On Jerboa, I am not seeing the link to the rules. Gonna look around a bit more.

Ooh, if you have a router and round-over bit, you could make a jig making a modified router base-plate out of 1.5" thick stock. The idea would be to create a recess for the round-over bit to set in approximately halfway into the stock. Then have an “1/2” hole offset from the radius of the bit to all you to insert the dowel and rotate. With the jig attached to the router and a hole with a tight enough tolerance you may not get too much chatter when feeding the stock into the jig.

How long are the dowels? They don’t appear to be too long, even if they are 24" it should be manageable. Mount a belt sander mounted upside down, either secured in a vise or a bar clamp to a table. Hold the dowel with a drill with a 1/2" chuck and go to town. You may also want to use something as a tool rest to steady the working end of the dowel close to the sander. Rough shape the dowels first then go back and finish the ends using the same technique, only this time clamp the drill down and hand hold the sandpaper, steel wool, scotch brite, etc.
