Taper
The Taper modifier produces a tapered contour by scaling one
or both ends of an object up or down. You can very easily con-
trol the amount of taper or curve using the spinners in the
Taper modifier.

You can even limit the amount of taper to a particular section
of your object.
Like most other objects, you can adjust your taper at the
sub-object level by opening up the stack.
Taper also allows you to manipulate the gizmo that is con-
trolling your taper settings to create even more custom tapers
and effects. Create your own object and use the Taper modi-
fier to come up with your own unique shapes.
