If you want a very round point stylus without many hassles (and without a lathe) you can silver braze a bearing ball to a metal bar, so you can choose between various radii.

I've just tried a tiny sample, using a small steel nail as the stylus, without rounding it or anything. The back of the paper gets ugly, but the front is already pretty good.

I wonder how a wood tool would work

(I don't have a brass rod of that size at home. I know. this is bad.)

The wood tool (a 6 mm dowel sharpened with a pencil sharpener and passed a few times with whatever sanding paper I had around) also works (but will probably require sanding and/or sharpening after being used a few times, I suspect)

The tool I've used and the results: a bone folder (I've used its back instead of the rounded end of the dowel), the small (~2 cm) steel nail, the tip of the wooden dowel described in the previous post, a square scrap of linoleoum with a simple line based logo carved on it and four square scraps of paper (~2.5 cm sides) that have been embossed with different levels of sharpness; on one of them the non-embossed area has been painted with watercolours.

Anyway, my next letters will be sent in an embossed envelope, thanks!

(and then I'll try to do more, but this is something I've always low-key wanted to do)
