Custom Soft Maple- Wrap Around Mantel

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.

Lee was outstanding to work with. His workmanship was excellent, his communication on status was wonderful, he took great care in packing and shipping, and we were thrilled with the mantel. We would recommend him to anyone considering custom wood projects.

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.

I 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!

Lee 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!!
