I need to ask a stupid question; how do you get the rosettes in?

thank you Roy 
hope you can try it one day.
DonZ the rosettes are put in by magic
No, really the trick is that there is a small notch cut on the side but you canot see once its glued because its in the area under the soundboard. it
allows the rosette to in.
some quick and dirty pictures with my cell phone. I will make some high def pictures that will go in the ouds for sale post. Contact me if you are
intersted in the oud.

Samir my friend
Great job, both the lookings and the sound. This's one of the finest oriental sounds I've heard lately from a newly made oud.
Very impressive indeed.
I only have one remark to make about the FB. Black does not suit the general profile coloring of this instrument. Next time (or even this one)
consider lighter color hardwoods like the rosewood family. They'd look perfect on this masterpiece.
I also like to thank you for the credit you've given me to design your logo inside the old well known Maqamat rosette. I have reformulated the old
calligraphy in the supposedly Nahat design, adding some touches and replacing some letters. However, it seems it's not a Nahat's matchless style now
when we see it on other makers' oud like the Hasbany's Bro. 1921 listed in ebay lately. It came as a surprise to me, this maker's name & his
rosette.
How little we know indeed about anything.
In short, you've done a great job fellow. Hurray ! 
Go ahead with this. You seem to know what you're about pal.
Good luck
Yours indeed

Thanks Alfaraby,
this was my 7th oud from start to finish and my 10th top. I guess I am learning everyday. Especially for this top I looked at the designs of Nahat,
al-Lissi(which I have at home), manol and I tried to take some aspects from all of them. I made the top at 1.7mm thin but I used bracing from Manol
and Nahat combined in a way to leave a lot of the face to vibrate.
About the fingerboard, it's in there now, its not going anywhere, I agree with the colour combination however ebony to me is the best feeling
material. I will use the fingerboard material of your choice on the Oud you order

Again congratulations for this wonderful work, Samir.
As far as I can judge by listening on my computer, the sound is beautiful.
