Install the same way you'd install a capped ferrule(the ones with the solid surface). The surface you apply the tip to will be the end of the tenon surrounded by the ferrule material around the perimeter.As an amateur, I have only seen ferrules with a solid surface. I bought ferrules, however, with 0.25" and 0312" holes in them. How are these installed? Only with cue tip pads? Without tip pads?
Thanks
I am not a cue maker. It sounds like it's a different type than the capped ferrules you are used to. McDermott used a style like you're talking about. Basically at the end you have wood surrounded by ferrule material. The wood is flush with the ferrule material and the tip glues to both materials.As an amateur, I have only seen ferrules with a solid surface.

It's a glue relief hole.The ferrules are from vendor Atlas Supplies and are “Juma-Tube Ferrule” SKU:QJUMAF . They sell for less than $3 each.

Never really understood doing this. I'd rather see the glue fail, than rely on those tiny rings to keep the ferrule on.If you are not threading the tenon add glue lock grooves in the tube and on the tenon.
