i do not know much about him what can you tell me about this maker?

and i wonder if any of the members have an oud made by him.

Go to this website:

http://www.varjouds.com/

And you will find some samples of his work and a lot more information. The website is provided by Jonathan a member of this forum who lives in your area.

I happen to have one of his ouds too, its picture is on Jonathan's website.

Good luck
