Do you have a router table? You can do it with a round over bit and a fence. Fence radius distance from bit center, dowel flat on table and rotate towards fence. Usual router safety applies. Only 5" length to hold might be a bit sketch, but you could jig something up easy enough. You could rough it with a rasp first, but with a sharp bit it should be no problem.
Yes - I have a router table and something like this is what I’m thinking now. I can drill a 1/2" hole in a block and stick the dowel through the hole to keep it secure. I can rout the end of a full-length dowel, then cut it off to size, then rout the remainder, etc.
