I put about a 45 degree angle on the bottom piece- I don't worry about the others- they all get tapered once I start shaping the nicks.

I sometimes pre taper and sometimes not. Just be careful and either way works well.

Not a great picture but this is one of mine.  Less pointy and more rounded, the way I like them.  Less mass in the tips.
