Wow... Would you be able to post a close up so I could see the texture?

Congratulations on the oud amarock. Did you order this oud in advance from Faruk with your specs, or buy it 'off the rack' at the shop? It looks very
beautiful; may it bring you much happiness. MW

Dear Matthew
I went to Istanbul for five days and the main goal of this travel was to bring the oud I ordered from Faruk five month ago .
