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

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.

    I saw Mike's intarsia work on CustomMade and I knew right away that this was the perfect container for my beloved dog's ashes. I sent a photo of her, and we had a couple messages back and forth, and the end result is a beautiful box made from 9 different woods, with a perfect likeness of Isis on the front! Mike's a pro. He does great work!

He was very professional, kept me informed of his progress throughout the design and construction and delivered a timeless piece of art that will last a lifetime. Would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for custom wood craftsmanship.

    Mike made a special consideration jewlery box for my granddaughter. I just don't have words to adequately describe how beautiful the item was, it took my breath away when I received it and the pictures he sent while the project was underway were totally eclipsed with the final product. Mike is a true artist with wood and I feel so blessed that I found him on CM. He took my ideas and turned them into something truely unique and hopefully a keepsake for generations. Mike was so easy to work with to fine tune design considerations and to keep me advised of his progress. Would I use him again for any special woodworking projects? You know it!! And I can not provide any recommendation that would do proper justice to his talent.
    Thank you Mike !!!
