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 Media ConsoleThis 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!

For Custom Knife BlockMike was a joy to work with! He reworked the design a few times based on some indecision on my end, updated me with the project's progress really frequently, and most importantly, gave me an absolutely beautiful knife block. Great, great experience!

For Isis' UrnI 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!
