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 Custom Beer Tap With Family CrestI had a great experience working with Mike. He was helpful with planning the project too as I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. His suggestions made the piece great. He communicated well while he was working on the project with updates and pictures. The project was done on time and arrived when he said it would. The detail in the design is wonderful. I will definitely work with him again.

For Police valet boxThis 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++++!

For Media ConsoleThis is my second project with Mike and the results were just as good the second time around. Mike is professional, timely, and skilled. The media console was a challenging design especially when it came to the mechanics of the hinge systems. Knowing Mike is an excellent woodworker I was confident that he could take on the added challenge and he did not disappoint. Mike really takes on every project as his own and I look forward to our next endeavor together!

For Knife blockMike 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.

For Custom Knife BlockMike was a joy to work with! He reworked the design a few times based on some indecision on my end, updated me with the project's progress really frequently, and most importantly, gave me an absolutely beautiful knife block. Great, great experience!
