INTARSIA WOOD ART
Artistic wood creations, handcrafted and proudly made in Canada.
Welcome to Intarsia Wood Art
WHERE WOOD BECOMES ART
Every piece begins with an idea, but the magic happens when individually shaped pieces of natural wood come together to create something completely unique.
I'm Alain, a wood artisan from Quebec, creating handcrafted works of art using intarsia, woodworking, and other techniques. After retirement, I turned my passion for woodworking into a second chapter dedicated to creating handcrafted works of art.
EVERY PIECE IS ONE OF A KIND
HANDCRAFTED
Every piece is cut, shaped, sanded, assembled and finished by hand in my workshop.
NATURAL WOOD
The natural colour, grain and texture of different species become part of the artwork.
BUILT TO TELL A STORY
From wildlife and nature to music legends, every piece has a story behind it.
A WORLD OF WOOD
From wildlife and nature to portraits, fantasy, music and everything in between, every piece begins with an idea and ends as something uniquely handcrafted.
YOUR IDEA. MY CRAFT. A ONE-OF-A-KIND CREATION
Not everything worth creating can be found in a gallery.
Through my custom commission service, I transform your ideas, memories and passions into one-of-a-kind handcrafted wood art. Whether it's a special portrait, a beloved animal, a musical legend, a personalized gift, or an idea that's uniquely yours, I'll combine the woodworking techniques and tools best suited to bring it to life..
