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 Knife BlockMike was a pleasure to work with. He took my list of must haves and nice to haves and created a proposal far greater than the sum of my inputs.
Mike never rushed the process and accommodated a number of my revisions. We must have exchanged twenty emails and a handful of phone calls before finalizing the design and beginning production.
The resulting knife block is a functional work of art.

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.
