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 Custom Knife Block

    Mike 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!

    I 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,
