Brennivs,
Thanks for the idea of using thin walled tubing, I'll see what I can find locally. I think that's going to be the best way to stabilize the shaft. Any idea on where to find a hollow butt spike? I've searched a bit but didn't find anything.
I should also take this moment to point out that this is one of the two poorly made pila that cost about $90. I think they were from Nauticalmart off of Amazon. They were bought to 'look the part' to people who don't know what they're looking at for re-enactments at my church. I did manage to get my hands on some nicer pila recently so I'm not too worried about how the pilum looks when repaired.
