About Frank Miller Lumber
For over a century, Frank Miller Lumber has been a family-run business continuously operating at its 20-acre founding location in rural Union City, Indiana. From filling small orders for local farmers with crosscut saws and steel-wheeled wagons, we have grown into a thriving, global enterprise employing state-of-the-art sawmill and kiln drying technology.
Frank Miller Lumber is a wholesale lumber supplier specializing in the manufacture of quartersawn hardwood lumber with the bulk of our production in white and red oak. Other quartersawn hardwood species include cherry and hard maple. Although we don’t manufacture plainsawn hardwood, we purchase high-end, quality green lumber from reputable local sawmills. This lumber is dried in our kilns, graded and sold through our distributor network.
Today, Frank Miller Lumber is among the world’s largest quartersawn hardwood lumber producers. Approximately 200 hardwood specialists work at our original mill in Union City, Indiana
Our lumber mill location in Indiana places Frank Miller at the transportation intersection of America. This enables our logistics department to expeditiously and economically ship a customer’s order by over-the-road truck, rail or ocean freight. We maintain business alliances with respected and reliable national carriers and international freight forwarders to ensure our customers enjoy prompt, damage-free and economical receipt of their lumber.
