Try looking up Arafati. He makes unique ouds. Iran House of music can also help you, since they have a panel of instrument makers: http://www.iranhmusic.com/

I don't have a specific website, but you can call the house of music. I recommend this because their panel is official and they certify the instruments. Their number is 66917711.
Good luck!
