Thanks fellas for all your nice comments. It means a lot! It's fun to share the progress with you all, and I learn something at the same time 
Samir, is that one of your ouds or a Nahat? Very nice. Can we see the rest?

The extra holes in the acrylic base are from another router I cannibalized the material from.

Bone pieces
I cut these pieces of bone from a large chunk of bone from my local pet store. The yield is all odd shapes. I soaked them in 40 Power Hydrogen
Peroxide (from the beauty supply store) for a couple days and they came out very white. I tried bleach once, but it made the bone flake apart.
Peroxide is the way to go. Cutting the bone is smelly, slow, and it dulls blades like there's no tomorrow. I'll use these pieces for some inlay, and
perhaps small rosettes. Short of sawing more of this bone (which I'm not crazy about doing), I'll have to somehow come up with some for the shams.

Jameel,
That must have been a St. Bernard or some large breed of dog. Just kidding.
This bone sounds to much work. Have you considered laser?

Inlay clamping, Bone inlay
To clamp the inlay in the back, I taped a curved caul to the back and used a layer of thin cork for padding. To add some pressure to the inlay I
inserted some thin sticks between the inlay and cork.
I also began making the bone "points" for the tips of the inlay. I'll need ten. First I glued the pattern onto the bone, then cut it out close to the
line with a jeweler's blade, I then sanded the edges to the final shape and filed them straight and square. I'll have to sand some of these to a
slight curve to match the back before I glue them in. The back inlay is almost done!

Nice inlay pattern Jameel. Looking better all the time.
What I meant to suggest is to laser cut the pattern in the shamas if you intend to make out of bone.

I see. That's a great idea. The only thing I can think of is the burnt edges might be an issue. Then of course then I wouldn't have the satisfaction
of having cut it myself.

No, Jameel, you are too much. Even your tools look like pieces of art, geez.
In case someone doesn't have a dremel or micro router, here's a tool I use to level out inlay areas. This one is flat for inlaying veneer into a face,
but you could make one with a curved base and blade for inlaying into the back or other curvey place. It's executed in my style, made from scraps and
second hand hardware, quick and funky but effective. The maple block is drilled at .219 dia and the 1/4-20 bolts cut their own threads the first time
you screw them in.
Are you planning a bone fingerboard? I think elk or moose shoulder blades would be big enough, and there are plenty of elk hunters around here. I'll
ask one I know at my day job. I bet moose bones would be relatively easy to track down, hmmmm?

statement
It looks like quality western craftmanship brought to this wonderful eastern instrument. So much attention to detail and you can tell that the
builder/artist who makes it really cares about the craft.

to all the oudmakers out there, is it possible to ask for a basic list of tools needed to either repair or even to make a complete oud? and a rough
price for them?
