flooring, siding anrl ceiling mill is not in a position to. undertake. A 

 mill of this kind often turns out flooring and other stock articles 

 in addition to its special lines. 



Table 40 contains statistics of the industry which makes sash, 

 doors, blinds and general millwork in Indiana. Thirty-four woods 

 are listed, thirteen of them being softwoods which supply 52 per 

 cent of the total, while 48 per cent is furnished by twenty-one hard- 

 woods. Less than 8 per cent of the lumber going into this industry 

 is grown in the state. Sixteen of the woods are wholly from with- 

 out, though three of them, beech, birch and hemlock, are native 

 trees. Six woods are supplied entirely by state forests. They are 

 butternut, hackberry, black walnut, white elm, cherry and hickory. 



Comparatively few doors are made to order. Such are usually 

 expensive kinds which are required to meet particular requirements, 

 or they are odd sizes not carried in stock. The ordinary door is 

 of veneer exterior glued upon a core of some wood suitable for that 

 purpose. Chestnut, yellow poplar and white pine are among the best 

 core woods employed by door manufacturers. A warped door is a 

 nuisance and in selecting material for cores, a wood is chosen which 

 will hold its shape. Doors are held togetlier by dowels, or wooden 

 pegs, so inserted as not to be visible when the door is completed. 

 Most of the hickory listed in the table was used in the form of dowels, 

 and likewise some of the maple, beech, birch and ash. Dowels are used 

 in joining much of the other woodwork represented in this industry, 

 including sash and blinds, and in the larger posts and panels of 

 stairwork and wainscoting. 



General millwork is a broad term and covers a multitude of articles 

 used by carpenters and builders as interior and exterior finish for 

 houses. Stairwork is an important group. Some of the items, as 

 newels, railing and spindles, are often made in standard sizes and 

 patterns and are kept in stock ; but frequently the work is special. 

 Mantels are also often stock patterns but occasionally are constructed 

 according to special design. Porch columns, railing, and balusters 

 belong in this industry, also chairboards, pilasters, brackets, and 

 ornaments of many kinds. 



An extensive variety of woods is demanded, some for beauty and 

 show, others for concealed work which none but the builder ever sees. 

 The most expensive is prima vera, or white mahogany, followed by 

 mahogany, black walnut, sugar pine, and cherry, in the order named. 

 The important place in this industry filled by cypress should be noted. 

 Seven woods are brought from the Pacific coast, their total annual 

 amount falling only slightly below 4,000,000 feet or about 10 per cent 

 of all the wood employed by this industry in the State. The Pacific 

 coast woods are western yellow pine, western white pine, sugar pine, 

 Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, redwood, and western red cedar. Western 

 yellow pine, often sold as California white pine, is sometimes substi- 

 tuted for the eastern white pine, and in Indiana it averages about $9 

 less in cost, and it is used in more than three times the amount of the 

 eastern white pine. Loblolly pine, although not mentioned in the 

 following table, is included under the commercial name — shortleaf 

 pine.
