Similar directions to a guitar apply (regarding direction of travel). Just think of your bazouki as the lower bout of the guitar.

Clamp the neck down or have a friend hold it while you route. I wouldn't at all recommend trying it without immobilizing the instrument beforehand.
thanks Ned. Let's see how far i am willing to go today lol. i should at least have the sides sanded down. nervous about the routing though. will probably just use test wood today and if i want something to do i will start doing the fretboard.
