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.

Jun 12, 2018Working with Lee is a delight. He is communicative and highly responsive. He is very careful with measurements, and gave us a wide array of stain choices. The workmanship on our new mantel is exceptional. We absolutely love it. Our contractor was able to install the mantel easily. Thank you for a wonderful job!

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 31, 2015Lee 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.

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
