How do you get rid of that textured feeling of end grain on the end of the shaft near the ferrule. It's harder than the surrounding grain & it feels raised when I slide it through my bridge hand.

Use a set of calipers and sand it perfectly flush with ferrule. It is more common to get a slight dip behind ferrule from improper sanding, so be very careful and make sure this work is done on a lathe.
