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 Logos4.8Mike 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 Clothing Rack5.0I love the clothing rack that Mike from Woodworking Plus built for my store! He sent me updates on the status of the project and completed the project quickly. The rack is great quality and looks wonderful! Very well-made. I would definitely recommend Mike and use him for another project in the future!

For Custom Knife Block5.0A previous homeowner left a large hole in the granite countertops in our kitchen. I decided to fill it with a custom knife block from Woodworking Plus. Mike did a fantastic job from start to finish. It was easy to develop the custom design I needed in collaboration with him. I sent him photos of the knives and the hole in my counter along with a few dimensions. He created a drawing of the final product which I modified slightly. He then kept me informed of his progress with updates and photos. The final product looks better than I could have imagined with an outstanding finish. The block fits perfectly into the hole and the knives all fit like a glove. The project was a great value considering all the work that went into it.
