Luthiers of North Texas.
Welcome to all luthier's, luthiers-to-be, repair people and supporters of LINT, Luthier's Interactive of North Texas. LINT is an informal association of North Texas Luthier's and repair people who meet six times a year (We meet on a weekend of every EVEN month) to discuss and learn new techniques and information regarding the construction and repair of stringed instruments.
The LINT concept was formulated in a small pub in Tacoma, WA as several builders from North Texas were sedating themselves after a long arduous day at the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL) convention in 1998. LINT held its first meeting, in November of 1998 and we have been going ever since.
LINT’s goals are:
-to promote and advance the state of the art of stringed instrument making and repair in North Texas
-to provide an environment conducive to the sharing of ideas and “trade secrets” which promotes the position that there is more than one way of doing something “right”
-to furnish opportunities for continuing education in all aspects of luthiery
-to provide a forum for constructive and supportive critiques of member’s work
-to create an environment that increases the “knowledge network” of its members, so that questions that arise may have answers within reach
-to create a social, beneficial, and supportive environment for North Texas luthiers

JAMEEL ABRAHAM'S OUD MAKING JOURNAL.
In January 2002 I received an Oud as a gift. This was a Turkish oud made by Cankaya Music in Istanbul, Turkey. It was modified for better sound and playability by oud maker Najib Shaheen. A few weeks after I received it, and after the urging of a few individuals, I considered the idea of building my own. Being quite frugal I thought that I could make my own oud and save some money if I ever wanted to buy another one. With some measurements and initial advise provided by Najib Shaheen, I decided to begin the oud. I have several years of woodcarving and woodworking experience, so I wasn't new to the subject. However, I consider instrument making to be the most refined form of woodworking, and I knew that I had much to learn, mostly patience. I decided early on that I did not care when I finished it. Shortly after I began the project I joined an on-line oud forum. I discovered from this source a man who makes ouds based on those of the early 20th century luthier Hanna Nahat of Damascus. (Nahat ouds are highly regarded, rare and very valuable. Many professional oud players use Nahat ouds, among them Simon Shaheen.) He published a book detailing the construction of an oud based on the Nahat design ...
