Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Started my business in 2007, after someone who knows I enjoy woodworking, asked me to build fireplace mantels for them. I have had interest in woodworking long before this, and has been great to be creating wood products for people who enjoy the rich, warm, look of wood.
Design & building of wood fireplace mantels, surrounds, as well as other woodworking.
Looking for that unique design? Consider working with me!
I try to give the best effort in making a product that you will enjoy for many years!
My motto is "build it like it is going to be yours", a statement that my high school carpentry teacher told us.

For Maple Mantel- Craftsman Style5.0I had a wonderful experience working with Lee on this project, he build me a custom made maple mantel that's wraps around my fireplace. He wrapped it really nicely and it came in a nice crate, he communicated with me and sent me pictures during the process and he delivered what he said he would.
I'm very happy with this service and would definitely use Lee again!

For Walnut Mantel5.0I can honestly say that this was one of, if not the best experience I have had not just with the communication and value, but the pleasant and thoughtful dealings during the entire process. From design to completion I was never disappointed and my expectation were always exceeded. The final product was more than I could every wished for. I look forward to working with Leland again soon.

For Maple Fireplace Surround With Copper Accent4.7Excellent maker with exceptional craftsmanship. I am absolutely in love with my new fireplace surround and wood shelves. Lee did an amazing job and was very communicative throughout the entire process. I really appreciated his attention to detail and ability to see my vision with limited context. Nice work!

For Fireplace mantle5.0Lee did a great job designing a mantle to wrap around an existing brick fireplace. We planned to wrap with a stone product not yet selected. Therefore precise measurements and the various ways of mounting the mantle played as much into the success of the project as did the desired aesthetics. Lee patiently altered the design several times as the rest of the decisions about refacing the fireplace fell into place. The result is terrific and the fit is perfect.
If you want a great mantle for a difficult situation you cannot do better than working with Leland Franke.

For mlosselyong@gmail.com5.0Lee did a great job on the headboard we love it! He did a great job on communicating. He needed to make changes on the completion date but before changing the date he discussed with me if it would work to change the date due some other situations he had going. I was totally ok with it. I am most likely going to order another one in about a month or two.
