Oud Fingerboard – Premium Exotic Tonewood

Crafted for professional luthiers and serious instrument makers, our Oud Fingerboards are made from carefully selected, high-density exotic hardwood renowned for its durability, smooth feel, and excellent tonal response. This wood is widely used in traditional Middle Eastern, Turkish, and Arabic ouds due to its strength, stability, and ability to withstand years of string pressure and playing wear.

The fine, tight grain structure allows for precise slotting, shaping, and finishing, while the natural oils in the wood provide a smooth, fast playing surface. Once finished, the fingerboard offers exceptional resistance to wear, making it ideal for both restoration work and new oud builds.
