This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Like most woodworkers, I have constructed many things over the years. Locally I still create most anything my clients request. On a wider level, I have developed a following of clients who require display and storage of unique or valuable items. These creations include chests of drawers, desks, armoires, dressing tables, custom work surfaces, personal and retail displays, chests and carrying cases.
I approach these projects from two ways. The first approach is to create an heirloom. An object that will function as the client intends but, in itself, will also be a show piece. These most often store things like jewelry, watches, pens, knives, guns, fishing equipment, quilts and other collectibles. They often contain many drawers which may have custom interiors.
The second approach is to create daily functionality. Again, it must fit the clients purpose but is more to stand up to daily use an abuse. These may fill the same function as the first approach but aren't meant to be passed on to the next generation. These may be for home, retail or commercial application.

For Chair/ Rocking HorseAbsolutely wonderful experience! Mr Franklin turned my husband's grandfather's old and broken chair into a breathtaking heirloom item. I couldn't have been happier with the overall timeliness, value and delivery. My husband cannot pass by the rocking horse without smiling. Best birthday gift I've ever given him.

For Small Glass Top DisplayI am very happy with the design of the glass case. My statue looks great inside. Jeff is extremely easy to work with, professional, and knows his craft. There was a little mishap with shipping, but Jeff was quick to fix the problem and was very helpful. I would be happy to work with him again on any possible future projects, and I would highly recommend him to others.

For Custom tablesJeff did a fantastic job making our custom bowling lane tables and desks. He was responsive and very helpful in the design phase. He found ways to cut costs so we could get what we wanted but stay within our budget, without sacrificing quality. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for custom made work work.

For Retail showcasesI approached Mr. Franklin with a particularly difficult project. Not only did it require expert cabinetry and glass working skills, but it also demanded working 1/2 way across the country on a project that needed to match an existing space from architectural plans alone. Jeff was patient and thorough in all his construction and also asked questions that never even occurred to me before this process. His experience helped us avoid many mistakes. Due to his skill and diligence, I received a product that is every bit as good as what he proposed, on-time and of excellent value. I'm sure they will last me years and years and they look fabulous too! On a personal note, I like dealing with a family business that gives personal attention and I am glad in the end I was able to meet Jeff in person with his son. Two great makers, doing everything right. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff Franklin of "Franklin Case" for any job, large or small. ~Rich Pinto/Photovillage Industries, NYC.
