Where would I go to if I wanted plans for an eight-course Renaissance Lute? I have seen a book on the subject which costs hundreds of (UK) pounds so that's out. There are "images" of plans on the web but there is no detail. I've got most of the wood I'll need and all of the tools so am ready to go! Thank You. I'm looking forward to seeing the completion of the Theorbo!
Gregor, slightly different (7 courses) but one resource I highly recommend is David Van Edwards' 'Build your own Renaissance Lute' which is a set of working drawings and templates, plus a lot of photos and detailed instructions from him on the entire process-- it is a great way to learn the art of lute making. Otherwise a good starting place would the the Lute Society, which has a number of plans available. Some of these are drawings of historic instruments which will require a fair bait of know-how to convert into working drawings, but others are working drawings ready to build an instrument from. (These are both UK sources so you should avoid any current shipping/importing messes!) I am guessing the book you looked at was the Lundberg? I too, would love to have a copy but they are a bit hard to find it seems.
I've never made an oud so there might be some differences in how they are made, but if you have questions about general tools for getting started I'm happy to share my thoughts some time.
Holly, when talking wood, is harvested from Ilex opaca, a North American shrubby tree with almost no tannin in the heartwood. It stays very bright white for many years if it is harvested in winter and immediately dried, if cut wet in summer it will turn blue-gray from fungus!
you are doing a valuable job my friend, continue making videos
Thank you, I will!

I want to set up an oud workshop in my own home, can you help me with the necessary equipment?

Wat is “holle” wood?
