Here are some pictures I took last night as I'm preparing to glue the top on at some point this weekend.

Hi Tom,

Nice work man. Interesting rosette designs, cool contrasting wood on the back of the pegbox. Beautiful grain in the tailpiece. Is this your first oud ? Thanks for posting.

Regards..Paul

Thanks! Yes, this is my first oud attempt and I'm looking forward to finishing it and starting another as there are a number of things I now know to do differently, like using a mold. I've kept a blog on my Myspace site of the whole process, the thrill of victory along with the agony of defeat. http://www.myspace.com/tom_moran if interested.
