pawn

you can turn the pawn between centers, I would uses a small revolving tail stock. A small shew chisel will get you what you want, leave a small diameter of stock between pawn and center, trim off and finish by sanding. If turning between centers the steb center properly will prevent catches.

If you have a 4 or 3 jawed chuck you can turn between first and finish the rounded head of the pawn with a skew, and sand top finish.

Jawed chuck: insert square or round of turning piece end in chuck and turn to suit, reverse the turnings position and remove square or round potion not needed. Skew will work weel with this method as the whole end is available as apposed to turning between centers.
