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.

The Frank Miller Lumber Quartersawing Process

Quartered boards exhibit the most pronounced figure, generally having growth rings at a 60-90 degree angle to the face of the board.
Rift boards exhibit a straight-grained and less-figured appearance, with growth rings at a 30-60 degree angle to the face of the board.
For floors, furniture, mouldings, millwork, cabinetry, and built-ins,
American hardwoods are the very definition of green building materials,
in abundant and self-renewing supply.
