While cleaning my Oud ,The stain on the bridge has pealed a bit , any one knows what kind of stain i should use, where to get it ,and how to stain it ? thank you .
I think that I am going to Mr. Richards site(Dr. Oud ) To buy his book on how to build a Oud and mybe I will find some helpful knowledge to other things.

Hi Samir,

I think modern guitar maker's use Analine dyes. You can by them as a power from Lee Valley tools, they mix with water. It can be brushed or wiped on.

A thought just struck me though, if it's peeling, it would not be a dye. Best to hear from the pros on this one.

Best of luck,
Scott
