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:

  • 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.

    I commissioned Mike Mathieu of Wordworking Plus to build a custom knife block to hold my specific collection of Shun knives. Mike was of great help in choosing the woods, layout, and general design of the block. He kept me up to date with pictures throughout the process, and delivered in a timely manner, ahead of schedule in fact. The knife block itself is a work of art. The woods are beautiful, the finish is amazing, and the craftsmanship is top notch. I would absolutely seek Mike's services for any future custom projects.

    It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Mike was very knowlegable, and knew questions to ask about details I hadn't even thought of.

    I had a great experience working with Mike. He was helpful with planning the project too as I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. His suggestions made the piece great. He communicated well while he was working on the project with updates and pictures. The project was done on time and arrived when he said it would. The detail in the design is wonderful. I will definitely work with him again.

    Mike has once again done an amazing job with this project. The attention to detail on the football and golf ball are fantastic. This will be an item that will last generations to come.

    I highly recommend you hire Woodworking Plus for your next project! You always get a great value and high quality work from Mike.
