You could cut a point into the top of your pole with a circular saw as I did in the photo below.

If you want something more hand-carved looking, you can see my video about how to carve a point for a cap with a knife at this link. This 45 second video shows me doing it in 20 minutes with a $20 chef’s knife from my kitchen. I used a piece of a 2 by 2 as a striker instead of a hammer (a hammer wouldn’t have been good for the knife). I set the knife where I wanted to remove wood and then hit it with the striker so the blade always was going away from me.

An even quicker version would be carving just two sides into a shed roof shape, like the one in the photo below that was a practice one that I’ve been using for a doorstop in my shop for years.

The top of this piece of wood was was carved into a shed roof shape for practice before doing it to an actual peace pole.

Whatever you do, do not buy a wooden fence post cap from a store and slap it on there. They just look wrong.
