Fuller Architectural Hardwoods - Lumber & Millwork

I passed a building advertising lumber and millwork on a recent trip between Muncie and Anderson. I wasn't on a schedule, so I paid a visit to what turned out to be Fuller Architectural Hardwoods. The shop foreman offered a tour. 

Their business was started in 1946 as a cash-and-carry lumber company and now specializes in limited production custom furniture, architectural millwork, and turnings. In the shop, samples of balusters and posts hung on the walls overhead. Stacks of mouldings leaned against the back wall. Two men  were  assembling frames to fill an order for a couple of entry doors. Out back, two steel barns are stacked high with stickered hardwoods, which they are happy to sell either rough or surfaced. A fourth building is their kiln, which he said was low-tech, but effective. This summer's low humidity helped dry a load in record time. 

Fuller Architectural Hardwoods is about half an hour from Indianapolis on highway 32, east of Chesterfield. Pay them a visit.  Take I-69 to the Muncie/Anderson exit - about 29 miles from I-465. Go east on SR-32 about two miles. Ask for a quote of current lumber prices. Their web page is: http://www.fullerarchitectural.com
