Maybe it's the time of night, but it seems to make more sense that a shaft has only a fibre pad and a choice of tip. No more worries about the strength of a tenon, threaded ferrules, or even cutting in to shaft wood. All with a significantly reduced front end mass for lesser deflection....
(Is it purely aesthetics as to why we have ferrules anyway?)
Does anyone have pics of this operation--the 'no' ferrule idea--and can describe the hit of it all?
Thanks guys. Help me get back to sleep.
