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.

For Custom Virge With Intarsia Inlay5.0Mr. Mathieu made a custom virge for my seminary. It a piece of true craftsmanship that is beautiful, well-made, and timeless, and for an excellent value. In working with me, he was always timely and professional, making sure to give a progress report each step of the way. I would recommend his services in a heartbeat to anyone who wants high quality custom woodworking for a better price than anyone.

For Media Console5.0This 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 Jewelry Box Wedding Gift5.0Woodworking Plus doesn't just create something out of wood, they create a conversation piece to last a lifetime. To be able to create something out of wood that lights up the room is truly an amazing skill. Anyone will take notice of the uniqueness of the item and want one for themselves.
Excellent A+

For Custom Wood Estate Sign5.0I found Custom Made completely by accident while looking for sign makers and came across your amazing website…. From the moment I exchanged e-mails with Mike I knew I had selected the right man for the job. His workmanship is beyond what I expected. He sent me photos from the wood he selected, the making of the letters to the sign assembled. The sign arrived right on time and in perfect condition. I would absolulety use Mike again from a custom project. I am also spreading the word about Custom Made and have gotten very positive reactions from people.
Thank you again,
Bob Belenchia
