I am curious about this "George Nahat 1930". It is unlike any of the other examples I have collected from that maker in that era. Can you post a picture of the label and roses? Do you know if the oud had been reworked and
when and by whom?
Good looking work on your first oud btw. I like your innovation to use of the shower stall to soak the ribs. It looks like you're building the oud on
a stool in the corner. It reminds me of my past, building on the kitchen table when I didn't have a shop to use - it shows what you can do with very
little if you have the desire - good work!

Hi Muthada,
Nice work, and the bowl looks like it's going to be really neat, especially with that really great wild walnut next to the mellow mahogany.
Regards..PaulO

are you still in Israel?
it says Bosnia!dave17120 - 10-11-2009 at 01:21 AM
I have a question, having just found your superb work on this instrument..... going right back to the beginning, you have a photo of the individual
ribs in the back soaking in the shower...... my question is, how did you arrive at the precise shape of the ribs in the first place? Obviously, the
shape of the ribs will determine the shape of the bowl.
I am working on building a bowlback mandolin, and this is one of the last problems I need to solve???
Many thanks in anticipation..... Dave
ribs shape
muthada - 10-17-2009 at 01:22 AM
hi Dave.
first i followed Dr oud book ,and i use graphic soft to get the precise size of the ribs.
but when i started to fit one rib to each other i realised that the precise shape is not so important and you always need to fine tune the ribs.
good luck with the mandolin.dave17120 - 10-17-2009 at 04:52 AM
Hello Muthada, thanks for the reply, do you have details of the Oud book you mentioned please? Thanks again, Dave
