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.

  • 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.

    This 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!

    Mike 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.

    I 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,
