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.
Working 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!
Working 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
I really enjoyed working with Lee on this project. I was able to provide him with some parameters of what my client wanted and he provided the rest. Quality craftsmanship, great service, and at a reasonable rate. Thanks a lot Lee, My client loves her new mantel and I will reach out to you again. Scott
We couldn't be happier with our mantel. Lee was great to work with. He kept us informed through out the process. I was a bit worried about doing a project like this long distance but he knows how to make it work. Communication was great. He was happy to answer questions and make adjustments to the plan. He always responded quickly. He sent us samples of the stained wood. Definitely recommend Lee.
I 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
