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 Jewelry Box Wedding GiftWoodworking Plus doesn't just create something out of wood, they create a conversation piece to last a lifetime. To be able to create something out of wood that lights up the room is truly an amazing skill. Anyone will take notice of the uniqueness of the item and want one for themselves.
Excellent A+

For Custom Knife BlockA 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.

For Frame with UVM and America East Champs LogosMike 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 Custom Wood Estate SignI found Custom Made completely by accident while looking for sign makers and came across your amazing website…. From the moment I exchanged e-mails with Mike I knew I had selected the right man for the job. His workmanship is beyond what I expected. He sent me photos from the wood he selected, the making of the letters to the sign assembled. The sign arrived right on time and in perfect condition. I would absolulety use Mike again from a custom project. I am also spreading the word about Custom Made and have gotten very positive reactions from people.
Thank you again,
