Hi Paul,

They are located in Union City, IN which is on the border of east central Indiana. That is about 75 miles from Indianapolis.

Frank Miller Lumber Outlet
1690 Frank Miller Rd,
Uniion City, IN
765-964-7705

Union City is about 5000 population. If you drive to the west side of Union City to the large cemetery, then take the road south in front of the cemetery for 1/4 mile, turn right 1/4 mile to the show room. You could use Google Map to zoom in and actually see the show room building which is at the west end of some Miller buildings. If you call I would ask to be extentioned to the show room, but I think the calls go there anyway. If you are interested in the cut off wood, ask what they have in the kind you want. I have bought Black Walnut quite a bit but some time they don't have any.

I used to have pictures inside the show room but have deleted them. To me it looks like they have every hardwood in the world for sale, but they are expensive. The cutoff pieces of the local hardwoods are real bargains and many wood carvers buy the 50 cent a pound wood.
