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.

Sep 27, 2013This 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!

Jul 3, 2016I was very excited to see the finished project, Mike has done a couple of projects for me and they always come out beautifully. He is very professional and always makes sure I am happy during all phases of the project

Sep 3, 2014Mike 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 !!!

May 2, 2016Mr. 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.
