Not sure what an Ebony full-splice is. Got pics?
i'd just get a plain black one.....would match the ebony and not look out of place
Black Alligator for the win!

Black and tan is a great combo. The brown one would look really classy in an ebony handle.

You'd be best off by handing the cue over to whomever is going to do the wrap work and going with their recommendation. Only the installer knows, within reason, how the wrap will come out.
Do what research you need to find the best craftsman to suit your needs. I highly recommend Ryan (ratcues) or Elia at Tiger Products. There are many others, but it's hard to keep track of who is on/off the forums.

Cork would definitely look nice, especially because it would be a more uniform color, like the rest of the handle.

Thanks, Corey, for the suggestion.
However, I've already done four of them myself, and they all look fine.
I have plenty of leather so a redo won't be a problem for me, if it doesn't turn out to my liking.
My tendency is to go with cordovan and black. The cordovan ones I've done look great, IMHO. However, since the ebony has only a streak or two in it and is very subtle, I think cordovan with some black will look very rich.
After I do it, if it comes out to my liking, I'll post some pics.
