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 Mantle - Arts & Crafts5.0Working with Lee was a pleasure. We communicated frequently during the construction of my mantle. He offered ideas on different woods, asked questions to understand my project, sent very detailed construction drawings, communicated directly with my contractor that was building the new fireplace to make revisions, sent many photos of the progress and completed the project much faster than I expected. In every way he was professional, courteous and highly communicative. It was a pleasure working with someone with such expertise. I didn't pay that much more than one of the mantles online that are shipped from China. Lee built a unique, very special mantle for our new house. Many thanks for the great job!

For Custom Quarter-Sawn Red Oak Mantel- Craftsman Style5.0Leland was a true professional. His communication skills were excellent and he kept us up to date with his progress and with pictures.
Prices for a custom built mantel not much more that the standard fireplace store stock mantel.
If you want a custom mantel that you can be proud of, he is the man to go to. You will not be disappointed. - AM

For Custom Quarter-Sawn Red Oak Mantel- Craftsman Style5.0Lee with Custom Woodgrains has been a pleasure to work with! He has gone the extra mile to create a custom mantel, and his work has exceeded my expectations! He sent very detailed drawings calling out dimensions, as well as stain samples so we could match our existing decor. It arrived in a custom made box that kept it protected, and it is absolutely breath taking! I highly recommend Custom Woodgrains!!

For Maple Fireplace Surround With Copper Accent5.0I 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
