I did both, welded a washer on to one and made one from maple I think for 
another. The wooden one is what I would do given my druthers. Glue the key to 
the new head with JB Weld.

I also believe that Wilton once posted a photo of a nice one he made up 
with a walnut end on the key in place of the rubber part.
My own experience is that the rubber ones do not last all that long so I 
have given up on them. I have one old key with a hard plastic end that I 
have been using and 2 newer keys that lack the rubber part, for which I 
need to make the walnut part like Wilton did.
