Custom made redwood cookie slab with live edge! One end of slab has burl! The top is finished with oil uerathane finish, which is hand applied. Where there were cracks in the top, they were filled with a colored metallic look epoxy. The base is an reclaimed antique chinese rice barrel! The top is weighted with round weights that sit sown in the base to hold top on. I did not want to screw the top onto the base due to value of the base. So the top and bottom are two seperate pieces. This really is a "one of a kind" piece! Measurements are approximately 36" long x 25" wide x 19 1/2" high. Since this is a "one of a kind" piece, once its sold other pieces similar to this can be made, but no guarantees on matching it exactly. Price does not include shipping.

For Walnut MantelI can honestly say that this was one of, if not the best experience I have had not just with the communication and value, but the pleasant and thoughtful dealings during the entire process. From design to completion I was never disappointed and my expectation were always exceeded. The final product was more than I could every wished for. I look forward to working with Leland again soon.

For Custom fireplace mantelLeland was very attentive to ensure he was provided all the necessary information needed to help me as a customer. He asked for questions and clarity at all stages of the project from quote through delivery to make sure i was happy and would be getting the correct product for my needs.
The mantel was a custom fit and based on the information I provided he found an adjustment to make sure the mantel fit my fireplace correct.
The product delivered matched his high quality customer service which he also provided. I would strongly recommend working with Leland on projects.

For Custom Quarter-Sawn Red Oak Mantel- Craftsman StyleLee 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 Walnut mantelWorking 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.

For Fireplace mantleLee 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.
