Making-Turning chess pieces

I'm thinking of making some chess pieces. Can I turn , say a pawn, with a nice round ball head using a spur chuck or will I need a jaws chuck like a 3 or 4 jaw chuck.

Just so you'll know where I'm coming from , I have extensive metal machining experience but just minimal wood truning experience. See in the pic how the pawn has the nice round ball top. others pieces represent the same challenge.
