ok now, back to the project...
the neck had been wedged back to correct the action, but not enough (a quick fix, but it usually fails as the glue joint is severely compromised.)
here's what was left behind on the neck end..

measurement of the bridge to the neck block indicated that 1/4 inch (6mm) needed to be added to the neck, I made a walnut spacer and will restore the
MOP inlay later. -

this is my neck clamp process - I've hired my stunt double, Nick Nolte to hold the neck in place for 5 minutes while the glue gels..

Just thought I'd report in. I strung it up and it's a keeper! It's got that snarfy old crusty growley Sombati sound, big, boomy bass, edgy trebles -
I love it. I got some MOP to repair the fingerboard when I get back to the shop.

Sorry, I already took the strings off to restore the fingerboard, clean the face and replace the rose, then it needs a refinish. Patience, kids it'll
be back together soon.

It is funny but in yr photo of the neck clamp process, (6 photos above) the oud looks very small in yr hands, almost like a tiny instrument toy for
children.
And as you said that the sound was "big, boomy bass", then you have got a
"chiquitito pero matón" oud....

I thiink it's the camera angle. The first set of strings I tried were
Pyramid, but the tension was too high and the action began to raise up after a few days. Next I'll try a light set of Aquilas. One of the rib seams
had shifted as the glue cured due to warpage of the verythin ribs. The seam was opened and re-glued using a block to align the joint. The warpage will
remain, leaving a uneven back surface, no matter.

I was just curious, How did Mother of Pearl become so commonly used in the middle east? I dont recall or know of abalone being a popular dish in our
culture. Does abolone even grow off middle easterm sores?
