Kenny Murrell is a master machinist, and a superb cuemaker. This cue is a testament to his skills. This is one of the nicest butterfly cues that you will ever see. When I received the cue, it was nice, but the UV finish had lifted in a couple of places. I sent it back to Kenny, and he completely refinished it back to new condition. I also had him add a genuine black lizard wrap.
You will see butterfly cues quite often, but the butterflies are usually between the points, or something similar. Kenny did this one different. He built the cue with four butterfly points with two veneers, and he brought the four spliced points up out of the butterflies. He said this was incredibly difficult and time consuming, and that he would not build another one. He also stated that this cue would be well over $2000 from him, due to the complexity.
This cue is straight, together and apart.
Specifications:
-Butt: 14.8 ounces
-Shaft 1: 3.7 ounces, 12.85mm, LBM, Moori medium
-Shaft 2: 3.7 ounces, 12.9mm, LBM, Moori medium
-Brass pinned, 3/8x10 wood to wood joint with a thick white phenolic sleeve

-Complicated butterfly and spliced points...there are four purpleheart butterfly points with two veneers, natural and black. Extending from the junction of the butterfly points are four purpleheart spliced points with two veneers, natural and black. The spliced points are razor sharp and dead even. The butterfly points are dead even.
-Very fancy black phenolic, maple, and mother of pearl ring just above the wrap
-Genuine black lizard wrap...beautifully executed
--Purpleheart butt sleeve with a maple saturn ring. the ring has two veneers, natural and black.There are also two sets of the same veneers set in lines extending from the butt cap to the wrap, and they are repeated right above the butt cap
-White phenolic butt cap
-Signed "Murrell" just above the butt cap
-Joint protectors are included
SOLD!! Thanks!
