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 10, 2014Mike made a knife block for our kitchen. My wife and I are very pleased with the final product. It's not easy making a knife block to certain specifications but he did a great job. Great care was placed in making sure the right wood was chosen to fit our kitchen, and at every step we were kept informed of the project's progress. The customer service offered was high quality. We would work with Mike on a project again in a heart beat.

Apr 4, 2015This was my first project through Custommade.com, and I'm so glad that Mike was the one to build it for me. From the initial contact, through the finished project, I could not be more pleased. The project he made for me is immaculate & totally exceeded my expectations. Perfect marks across the board for Mike - communication, timeliness, quality, price, etc - A++++!

Dec 4, 2014I 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!

Jun 15, 2014I 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.
