Seven course cocobolo
The Cocobolo oud will be a seven course oud this time.
the soundboard is master degree german spruce.
the rosettes purfling is made using black and white tiles, using hot glue to join the small pieces.
there is also a paper support under each opening to give an extra support.
when the hot glue is cured, the rosette purfling is very strong and can be sanded down carefully to the soundboard level.
Best regards, Samir

Sanding, french polishing
Thank you Bulerias
The back has been first scraped and then sanded starting from 120, 150, 180, 220, 280, 360, 400, 600, 1000 and 2000 grid.
A pore filler is used as sealer to smooth the oud and give a nice fisnih with the french polish. 2 days of polishing should be enouph every now and
then a new coat.
Best regards, Samir

opening the pegbox/neck join
The opening is made carefully using japenese hand saws, the opening is not parallele to the fingerboard. to my opinion it gives a better look as we
see later.
Best regards, Samir

mounting and joining the peg box
after some tweaks, the peg box fits nicely, and when applying some pression the glue squeezes from the 4 openings.

french polishing the top (shellac)
The bridge is made ready first and the masking tape takes the shape of the bridge on the soundboard. this can be done by drawing with a fine pencile
around the bridge , applying a masking tape, and then cutting around the edges of the pencil on the tape.
Best regards, Samir

Thank you guys, I appreciate this
I will make a bone rosette for it this days, and probably will sell it if I can get what it is worth.
I have mounted Pyramid lute trings on it instead, I will make a video/sound tomorrow and post it here.
I have also changed the nut to bone nut and lowered the action to 2.5 (neck join) . 7 strings is lot of tension.
the action now is very nice and smooth, buzz free
thanks
Best regards, Samir
