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.

Sep 12, 2017Lee 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. Michele Losselyong, Appleton, Wisconsin

Mar 24, 2023Working with Lee was a great experience! We were originally going to go with walnut, but after discussing and seeing some of Lee's work with Flame Birch, we switched to it. Lee was in contact regularly, involved us every step of the way, and the result was spectacular! We now have a beautiful one-of-a-kind flame bitch mantel.

Dec 7, 2014This 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.

Sep 3, 2022Working with Leland to create the mantle for my new house using the oak from my land was a wonderful process. He updated me at every turn and the result is incredibly beautiful. I provided the dimensions and the mantle fit perfectly. It’s the focal point of my home. He’s an artisan. Jeannie Stubler New London, Wisconsin
