As you said it's mostly oud no.2 that worries you. In this case you'd have to give the bottom side a slant to level the difference of 0.4 mm. That's
impossible without hightech machines, you'd end up with a convex nut bottom.
A dremel for removing the nut? Definitely not! I know that bone glue can be softened with water, that's why luthiers have been using it for centuries.
But I'm far from being an expert concerning bone glue. If it was my oud I'd try sanding paper because depending on the grain it is nearly impossible
to have the grooves too deep suddenly. Definitely no motorized tools. Better ask a luthier when insecure. |
