Frank Miller Lumber

Frank Miller Lumber Among the largest suppliers and producers of quartersawn hardwood lumber globally, offering species such as white oak, red oak, cherry, and walnut.

For over a century, Frank Miller Quartersawn Hardwood 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 specializes in

manufacturing quartersawn hardwood lumber with the bulk of its production in white and red oak. Other quartersawn hardwood species include cherry, hickory, hard maple, walnut and poplar. Although we don’t manufacture plainsawn hardwoods, 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, we are one of the world’s largest producers of quartersawn hardwoods. Approximately 200 employees work at our original Union City mill.

Today, we celebrate an incredible career and wish Jack Baughn a very happy retirement after 29 years with Frank Miller Lumber.

Jack began his career shuttling lumber at Plant 1 before moving on to drive for the grading stations and kilns. He later worked in the warehouse before joining our retail branch, Frank Miller Lumber Fine Woods, and has ultimately been our warehouse coordinator for the past 24 years. His hard work, dedication, and reliability have made a lasting impact on our team and customers alike.

Please join us in congratulating Jack on his retirement and thanking him for nearly three decades of service.

We wish you all the best, Jack!

Happy Earth Day!

Healthy forests are essential to the future of hardwood.

Responsible forest management ensures that hardwood resources continue for generations to come. The hardwood industry plants and grows far more trees than it harvests each year - helping forests thrive for the future.

Ever noticed the thin strips between stacked boards?

They're called stickers, and they allow air to move between layers of lumber during the drying process.

Without proper airflow, hardwood wouldn't dry evenly - and quality would suffer.
