Machining Pikie curve-heads

I am curious what methods everyone uses to machine their curved slopeheads on their pikies.

I first cut a straight slopehead using a sled on my tablesaw and then take the plug with square ends still attached to my drill press with a rotary attachment from woodcraft that uses replaceable sanding sleeves. See pics


A trick for changing the sleeves is ... first remove old sleeve by tearing along seam ... then put the rubber faced rotary attchment in your freezer for 60 minutes ... it will shrink slightly and the tight fitting new sanding sleeve can now slide on

merry Xmas and happy New year to all...
