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 Custom fireplace mantelLeland was very attentive to ensure he was provided all the necessary information needed to help me as a customer. He asked for questions and clarity at all stages of the project from quote through delivery to make sure i was happy and would be getting the correct product for my needs.
The mantel was a custom fit and based on the information I provided he found an adjustment to make sure the mantel fit my fireplace correct.
The product delivered matched his high quality customer service which he also provided. I would strongly recommend working with Leland on projects.

For Wrap-Around Or 3-Sided Fireplace MantelI am very happy with the completed project. Working with Leland Franke was a pleasure. I could not have asked for better communication regarding plans, changes and being kept updated on the progress. I would not hesitate to use Leland for help in future projects. My sincerest tanks.

For Maple Fireplace Surround With Copper AccentI love the fireplace mantel surround that Leland Franke made for me. He started with a detailed drawing of the plans, including measurements, to make sure it was what I wanted. He worked with me throughout the process to make sure that the measurements, design, wood, and stain color were exactly what I wanted. Once he started working on the project, I received nearly daily updates with photos showing the progress, which made it fun and exciting!! The finished product is gorgeous, and I can't wait to have it installed in my living room. I highly recommend Lee Franke of Custom Woodgrains!! Susan Temple, Mendota Heights, MN

For Walnut MantelI 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.
