Update
After a big fight with Mr. Abraham...I told him he can take his oud and shove it! 
JUST KIDDING.
Here's the finished pegbox. These pictures were taken before softening the edges and shaping the inside of the pegbox, but you can see how killer it
turned out. Notice the shape of the pegs. Pretty authentic looking.

Jameel had also done some work on the soundboard. He sent me these shots last weekend, but I was out of town. Should have updated the thread when I
got back, but didn't have a chance to.
Here are some shots of the tiles inlaid around the soundholes. He put the roses in place and also the other inlays that will be put in so I could get
a sneak peek of how it will look when done.

I am used to criticize defects (major and minor) in the oud esthetics and finishing. I have been blamed by some of the users for doing so. Most of
them accused the pics resolutions and lighting. I replied that I don't tolerate such defects on ouds saying that a oud has to be the most perfect
possible from the inside and the outside. I also said that a small defect on a violin is not tolerated, then why should it be tolerated on a oud.
Well now, it is the extreme opposite.
This piece of art made by J. Khalaf is really an amazing beauty. Such a perfect craftmanship. The bracing is also so neat, so clear, so beautiful to
look at. The inside strips between the ribs are also really well done.
Wish all ouds on earth were close to this one in the perfection of the detail.
Congratulations Mr. Jameel and Mike. Ya hek oud ya bala!
