I would rotate the pick guard to fit around the shamis (big hole) and cut it out around the right eyun (small hole). You will do the most damage in the area between these holes.

what about this?


It ends up covering a part of the bottom inlay but its not bad looking and wood cover more of that wear area.
BTW. I ordered it from LMI the link you posted. Its great service and it was verry fast concidering I didnt pay too much for shipping.
Thanks

Samir,

I gree with the Doc. It seems more appropriate to place the big curve around the big sound hole.

Hello fellas. I finaly have finished the oud and I have received the strings. Iam soo happy with the way this oud sounds now. It was a great learning experiance. The funny part is that my mother thinks it sounds better then my other oud. :D yah right... I dont think so but It doesnt sound much better then it did. Anyways you can feel the notes resonate through your body. Its really neat.
here is how it sounds now.
