Mike Mathieu, owner and artist of Woodworking Plus, Midlothian, VA begins by envisioning an object or a moment in time. Then he transfers this image to paper, creates a detailed pattern, and goes to work making your custom project come to life.

  • Small Custom Woodworks
  • Furniture Restoration

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.

    I saw Mike's intarsia work on CustomMade and I knew right away that this was the perfect container for my beloved dog's ashes. I sent a photo of her, and we had a couple messages back and forth, and the end result is a beautiful box made from 9 different woods, with a perfect likeness of Isis on the front! Mike's a pro. He does great work!

    I am thrilled at how beautiful this wedding box turned out. Mike was so accommodating when it came to the box dimensions and wood, the typeface, and the interior lining. I would definitely do business with him again. He was a pleasure to work with.
