MKP10 Ebony + Maple
Black ebony forearm, green and silver diamond points, and a natural maple butt cap left uncoloured on purpose.
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.
Two woods, kept honestly separate.
Most of our two tone cues blend the join between woods under a ring. This one keeps it visible on purpose. Black ebony carries a band of green and silver diamond points up the forearm, then the butt cap itself is left in plain natural maple, no stain, so the colour break reads as two different pieces of wood rather than one dyed to look like two.
Green is not a colour we reach for often in this series, most of our inlay work stays inside blacks, ambers and shell tones. Here it comes from a dyed veneer line inside the diamond points rather than the wood itself, set against genuine abalone at the centre of each point.
The maple butt cap is left raw pale on purpose. It is also where your engraving goes if you want one, and it will show initials or a name more clearly than a dark wood cap would.
Look closer

Can the maple butt cap be stained to match the ebony instead?
We can, but we would rather talk you out of it first. The plain maple cap is what makes engraving readable on this cue, and it is part of what makes this particular combination distinct from our other ebony cues.
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.”

“You are an artist man. Omg I’m in love with you man.”

“I received it. It’s really good. The packaging is also very good. I tried it too, it’s awesome.”

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.
