I'm trying to make some Doric-esque columns for a scene I am making, but the only way I have found to do it is to follow a tutorial on making a cog/gear, and just extruding it and applying a taper, but that doesn't look right, the concave faces don't smooth out properly. I know I could increase the interpolation of them before converting to poly, but that just ups my poly count.

Does anyone know of an easier way of making them?

this was the one I followed for reference:
