BONJOUR SAMIR !
Je crois que le mieux est de découper ton morceau de rosewood de l'extérieur seulement de le coller et d'ensuite découper l'intérieur ...Car sinon
il risque de casser facilement ! Tu pourrais aussi coller une plaque de renfort (en épicea sur quartier le grain perpendiculaire à la table ) de
1,5mm épais par 15 de large de la même forme que ta rosace(rond ou ovale). On utilise ce type de renfort sous la rosace des guitares classiques. Je
crois aussi qu,il est parfois utilisé pour les oud sans rosettes !

weekend updates
I had time to work on this project during the weekend.
here is what I have done so far.
braces shapped and face mounted.
I got the rosewood edge binding mounted and I got the fingerboard roughly shaped... Iam not sure If I will put small wings or cut the end of the
fingerboard in a stylish way...

Hey Samir...Well done buddy. For ouds like this, I like the simple oval looking pickguard. Kinda the same shape as the soundhole. I dunno how it would
look though with one soundhole. Might be a little weird. Get creative bro, and come up with a unique Samiro design.

Remember that oud with a map of Iran as a pick guard? How about Lebanon with a cedar tree, slightly itched or super-imposed. The cedar would be
up-right when in playing position ...
Great work ... !

Good stuff Samir - I think the sound is very unique - especially on the lower strings. What are the strings btw? and the Tuning?
Cheers,
Samer

They are labellas.
its tuned F AA DD gg cc ff
if anyone thinks I made up the brace size and dimentions your wrong.
It based on the model of Thabet al Basry.
http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=4229#pid276...
I transfered the distances according to the ratio at which the oud was smaller.
Thanks for the nice words.

after some time off...
Hello its finally done.
this type of bridge is really nice in terms of sound I noticed a real difference. It took away much of the metallic sound.
Iam posting a few pictures.
you get extra points if you can guess who made the inlay??
