Custom Heirloom Toy Box/Chest

I had a wonderful experience while creating our custom piece for our fireplace. The correspondence was always fast and we got updates on progress periodically. Lee knew exactly what we wanted. The drawings he sent shows exactly how it is built. The mantel is beautiful and is definitely an art piece in our home.

This is our second experience and we are extremely pleased with all aspects of the project. From order to delivery everything went perfectly and the live-edge counter top is amazing. We already have another project in the works and look forward to more in the future.

This experience was great from start to finish. Lee and I communicated very well at the beginning regarding what I was looking for and how he could make it happen. He was very specific with his questions and things he needed from me to make it correctly. He took great care in crating the mantel for shipping and it arrived in perfect condition. My husband installed it in less than an hour. I am thrilled with how it has changed the entire look of our living room. And it arrived just in time to decorate for Christmas. If I ever have another custom need I will use this company again.

Lee 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.

Leland was great-answered all our questions - gave us a design quickly. Everything worked out PERFECTLY. If I need anything woodwork related I am calling Leland.
