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.
Woodworking Plus Product Line:
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 Frame with UVM and America East Champs LogosMike 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.

For Custom Wood Estate SignBeautiful craftsmanship. To the exact specifications of proposed project.

For Custom Knife BlockMike was a pleasure to work with. He took my list of must haves and nice to haves and created a proposal far greater than the sum of my inputs.
Mike never rushed the process and accommodated a number of my revisions. We must have exchanged twenty emails and a handful of phone calls before finalizing the design and beginning production.
The resulting knife block is a functional work of art.
