What's the best tool for making simple dowels from square stock. I am trying

A roughing gouge followed by a skew. pick up any of the basic
turning books and read them, it'll be worth the effort.

The BEST tool is a doweling tool, of course. Unfortunately, I don't have a
picture of one. Think of a large pencil sharpener type of device with a
hole in a piece of wood with a blade attached to it set at an angle.
If you're wanting to use just the basic toolset, use a skew and your hand to
suppport the stock if it whips.
