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:

  • Custom Knife Blocks
  • Finished Intarsia Art
  • Custom Intarsia
    Keepsake/Jewelry Boxes
  • Intarsia Project Kits
  • 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.

    Mike 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.

    This was a fun and creative experience. The Custom Virge was handcrafted to perfection. The colors and the smoothness of the wood is incredible. Very impressed indeed. Looking forward to other future projects with Woodworking plus. Definitely the skill of a great artist.

    Thank you

    It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Mike was very knowlegable, and knew questions to ask about details I hadn't even thought of.

    When I first decided to do this project, I contacted Mike about doing the carving for my logo, but after seeing some of his work. I decided to let him do the logos as Intarsia. The detail and craftsmanship executed for this project is truly unbelievable. I would recommend Mike to anyone who wants a real craftsman to do their project.
