To get the maple inlay to fit *![Paduak jewelry box with maple inlay open ](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/hs-fs/file-19506807-jpg/images/paduak_jewelry_box_with_maple_inlay_open-.jpg?width=176&height=283&name=paduak_jewelry_box_with_maple_inlay_open-.jpg)*properly into the design, Terry meticulously sanded both the maple and the Paduak for a perfect fit of the two wood species.  Terry used multiple coats of Water-Lok to finish his hardwood project to a beautiful luster. Paduak hardwood is a great wood species to consider for a number of different custom woodworking projects. *Learn more about custom wood working services, Paduak hardwood and other domestic hardwoods by following any of the links below:* [**Padauk Hardwood**](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/figured-and-exotic-woods/padauk/) [**Maple Hardwood**](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/common-woods/soft-maple/) [**Common and Domestic Hardwoods**](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/common-woods/) [**Exotic and Figured hardwoods**](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/figured-and-exotic-woods/) [**Custom Woodworking**](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/millwork-and-mouldings/) Tags: [hardwood](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/hardwood), [hardwoods](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/hardwoods), [paduak](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/paduak), [maple](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/maple), [custom woodwork](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/custom-woodwork) ### Subscribe to Blog ### Latest Posts ### Browse by Tag - [woodworking (4)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/woodworking) - [hardwood (2)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/hardwood) - [hardwoods (2)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/hardwoods) - [Custom Mantel (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/custom-mantel) - [Fireplace surround (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/fireplace-surround) - [General Woodcraft (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/general-woodcraft) - [cabinets (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/cabinets) - [custom fireplace surround (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/custom-fireplace-surround) - [custom woodwork (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/custom-woodwork) - [decking (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/decking) - [exotic woods (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/exotic-woods) - [genuine mahogany (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/genuine-mahogany) - [mahogany (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/mahogany) - [maple (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/maple) - [marine plywood and lumber (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/marine-plywood-and-lumber) - [native hardwoods (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/native-hardwoods) - [paduak (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/paduak) - [teak (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/teak) - [wood carver (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/wood-carver) - [wood carving (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/wood-carving) - [woodworker (1)](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/blog/topic/woodworker) -   [CONTACT](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/contact-us)  | -  [WOOD PRODUCTS](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/)  | -  [CUSTOM WOODWORKING](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/products/millwork-and-mouldings/)  | -  [DECKING](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/mataverde-decking/)  | -  [RAIN SCREEN](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/rain-screen-systems/)  | -  [MATAVERDE](https://www.mataverdedecking.com/)     **![FSC Forest Stewardship Council logo](https://www.generalwoodcraftinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FSC%20Forest%20Stewardship%20Council%20logo.png?width=134&height=198&name=FSC%20Forest%20Stewardship%20Council%20logo.png)**   **531 Broad Street, New London, Connecticut 06320    ** **Phone 860-444-9663 | Fax 860-444-0517** **Business Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm EST. ** **Closed weekends and holidays.**     © 2026 General Woodcraft, Inc.
