flamed maple oud

sabbassi - 2-8-2010 at 08:08 AM

hi guys, another oud is in the build...
this one will be a flamed maple body with western cedar soundboard and rosettes.
rosewood puflings between the ribs.
I will aim for an authentic real arabic (eastern) sound and look.
thank you for following it.

Stunningly beautiful. The craftsmanship looks exquisite. Is the purfling dyed pear? or ebony?
That's an amazing looking instrument.

Thank you paulo, thank you Jonathan.
The between ribs purfling is rosewood, 0.8 mm.
same for the small rosettes.
