Ouds

Hello! I am new member and happy to see that oud is not so esotheric considering the number of oud lovers .I have a project of building an oud ; has someone addresses of wood suppliers for luthery in Europe

Welcome to the forum Guy. I think the oud is entering something of a renaissance myself, with more people discovering the beauty of this most wonderful instrument outside of the countries it has traditionally been played.
if you are looking for wood for luthiers, try:
