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.

For 13 Slot Martial Arts Belt Display with Sword5.0It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Mike was very knowlegable, and knew questions to ask about details I hadn't even thought of.

For Bee house5.0I posted a project request on this website for a custom made bee house/hotel that I needed for transporting honey bees. I am so glad Mike answered my request!!! He was so easy to talk to and work with. I was worried I was going to have a hard time describing what exactly it was that I needed built, but I told Mike I had an old bee hotel that a friend had loaned to me so he asked me to send pictures. Mike was very quick at responding back to my request. He discussed the project with me and made some suggestions. The project was finished before his estimated time line. I received it today and I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful, and it exceeded my expectations. He is truly a talented artist and I will definitely be contacting Mike again in the future for future projects.
