{"product_id":"arthur-cue-shadowgrain","title":"Arthur Cue - The \"Shadow Grain\"","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"404\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eThis elegant Arthur cue by Marcus Dienst showcases a refined combination of rich Blackwood burl and beautifully figured bird’s-eye maple, brought together with the clean precision and understated luxury that define Arthur Cues. The deep, dark tones of the Blackwood create a dramatic contrast against the warm natural character of the maple handle, resulting in a cue that feels both modern and timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"924\" data-start=\"406\"\u003eAt first glance, the forearm appears to be pure jet-black Gabon ebony, with a deep, clean, almost mirror-like appearance. But under closer inspection and stronger lighting, the hidden beauty of the Blackwood burl slowly begins to emerge. Subtle swirling grain and mysterious natural patterns reveal themselves beneath the dark surface, giving the cue remarkable depth and character. The burl is understated rather than flashy, creating a sophisticated look that continues to change depending on the angle and lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1590\" data-start=\"926\"\u003eOne of the most impressive qualities of Arthur plain or merry widow cues is the richness of the wood itself. I have owned plain Arthur cues made from Macassar Ebony, Camphor Burl, and other exotic woods, and every one of them displayed exceptional texture, movement, and natural figure. Marcus has a remarkable eye and standard for wood selection, allowing even the simplest designs to feel refined and full of character. The more closely you study the cue, the more details begin to appear—subtle grain shifts, hidden curls, and layers within the burl that are easy to miss at first glance. Every time you revisit the cue, there always seems to be something new to appreciate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCondition: New 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eForearm: Blackwood Burl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eMaterials: Blackwood Burl, Birdseye Maple, Super Tusk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAccessories: Includes Basic Plastic Joint Protectors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eLength: 58inch, even split\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eButt Weight: 15.6oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eShaft Weight: 3.6oz\u0026amp;3.7oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eShaft Diameter: approx. 12.75mm\u0026amp;12.75mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eJoint: Modified 3\/8x10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eWrap: Wrapless\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNotes: Directly from Marcus's shop in Germany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e*Ships to the lower 48 States only.
