I am happy to share with you the progress of the cutting, it took me some time to finish it, but above all alot of cold nerves persistence and patience,

Yes this is one of the rosettes that Abdo Nahat used to put on its oud, this model is also present on some egyptian and syrian ouds of the same era.

Also here is an exerpt of a video showing the work in progress (part of it)
