Instead of using dictionary definitions of Intarsia, we would like to create our own.
Intarsia - the experience of merging Nature's beauty with human ingenuity; finding the perfect combination of woods to express an object or a moment in time; a three- dimensional perspective of the world using natural colored and varied woods; painting with wood.
Mike can create a custom Intarsia Keepsake/Jewelry Box, Pet Urn or Framed Intarsia Wall Hanging from any photo or picture. All of our patterns are hand drawn and all pieces are hand-crafted with pride using only the finest materials.

Mar 18, 2013Woodworking Plus doesn't just create something out of wood, they create a conversation piece to last a lifetime. To be able to create something out of wood that lights up the room is truly an amazing skill. Anyone will take notice of the uniqueness of the item and want one for themselves. Excellent A+

Feb 10, 2016I found Custom Made completely by accident while looking for sign makers and came across your amazing website.... From the moment I exchanged e-mails with Mike I knew I had selected the right man for the job. His workmanship is beyond what I expected. He sent me photos from the wood he selected, the making of the letters to the sign assembled. The sign arrived right on time and in perfect condition. I would absolulety use Mike again from a custom project. I am also spreading the word about Custom Made and have gotten very positive reactions from people. Thank you again, Bob Belenchia

Nov 2, 2015The beer tap was an anniversary gift for my husband. He loved loved loved it! Mike did a wonderful job and went above and beyond to get the detail of my design implemented! I was a bit leery paying up front, but I understood.. as it was a custom item. Mike was very good about sending progress pictures and communicating as the project went along, which eased my worries. Mike also made sure it got to me on time. The workmanship was perfect and the process went without a hitch! I would definitely hire and recommend Mike again! It was a fun experience hiring a true craftsman to create your own brain child!!! Thank You Mike!!

Mar 12, 2015Mike made a custom knife block for us because we could not find one that would hold all of our knives including a butcher's knife. The piece is gorgeous -- zebrawood and cherry with plenty of space for our knife collection. He was a great communicator and sent us a drawing of what our knife block would look like, plus photos of the progress along the way. Would definitely work with this seller again!

Mar 17, 2016Mike was fantastic, designing a one of a kind frame and then creating an extraordinarily complex inlaid design on the frame. The project took time to get done right and incorporated a third party to add details Mike felt were best provided by someone other than himself. Our only glitch was broken glass in shipping - which Mike agreed to cover the cost to repair. An excellent experience and great value for a truly unique product.
