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 Virge With Intarsia InlayMr. Mathieu made a custom virge for my seminary. It a piece of true craftsmanship that is beautiful, well-made, and timeless, and for an excellent value. 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.

For Almost exactly like your small pedestal display with ebony insertsThis was all around a 5 star experience. Woodworking plus kept me advised at all times of what was going on, asked for input whenever he believed I could contribute, and shipped me a perfect product (beautifully packaged I might add!) in even less time than he originally estimated. And I can tell you after shopping around, I know the price I paid was extremely fair and good - particularly for something custom made to order. I love my end result shown in the pictures below (it's the pedestal that the round piece is sitting on). I highly recommend Woodworking plus!
