THE MKP SERIES · INLAID BUTT · REFERENCE MKP05
MKP05 Ebony
The quiet one in the ebony family, a thin diamond accent and a small point instead of a full band.
Quoted, not priced. Wood, inlay work, rings and engraving all change the number, so we quote each cue on its own. Ask and you will get a real figure the same day.
15 oz butt, about 19 oz complete · 10 to 14 days · Free engraving · Ships worldwide
Real inlay, not print
Every piece of shell, stone or contrasting wood is cut and seated by hand into its own pocket.
UV blocking topcoat
Hand rubbed lacquer with a UV blocking topcoat protects the colour and the inlay alike.
Numbered and registered
A serial cut into the joint and written in our book beside your name.
You see it before it ships
We photograph your actual boards before we cut, and the finished cue before it leaves.
Not every cue needs to shout.
The other four ebony cues in this series carry a full running band of shell. This one holds back. A single small diamond point sits near the joint, framed by thin silver rings, and the rest of the butt is left as plain, deep black ebony.
Plain does not mean simple to build. With less inlay to draw the eye, the finish on the wood itself has to be right, because there is nowhere for it to hide behind a busy pattern.
This is the cue we point to when someone tells us they want something from the Inlaid Butt series but do not want it loud. It still carries real shell, just measured out in a single accent instead of a full length band.
Look closer
The full length. Deep black ebony butt with a single diamond accent near the joint.
The diamond detail. One small shell point framed by thin silver rings.

Can the diamond accent be moved or left off entirely?
Yes. Tell us where you want it, or ask for the butt left completely plain, and we will build it that way. This reference shows one option, not the only option.
If something is wrong when it arrives
Write to support@murakicustomcues.com with a photograph and we will sort it out. A cue that arrives damaged, warped, or not matching what we agreed is our problem, not yours.
Wood is a natural material. Grain and colour will vary from the photographs above, because every board is different.
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Messages we did not expect
These are screenshots, not typed-out quotes. We asked each person before putting their words here. Nothing has been edited except cropping out phone keyboards and one message about pricing that was nobody else’s business.
“The inlay work is insane. Pics don’t even do it justice. Already got a buddy who wants one, I’m sending him your way.”
Jake M.
“You are an artist man. Omg I’m in love with you man.”
Ali A.
“I received it. It’s really good. The packaging is also very good. I tried it too, it’s awesome.”
Yaeyang
We have been selling to players in Vietnam for years. Shipping abroad is the new part, so these are the first customers overseas to write back. More will go up here as they come, good and otherwise, and we will not be quietly deleting the bad ones.
