A Family Business

At Pinke Lumber, you could say building is in our blood. Eldon Pinke’s father and grandfather were both carpenters, and he began doing carpentry work in 1962. In 1977 Eldon and Carol Pinke purchased the lumberyard in Wishek, ND. The lumberyard buildings have been there for well over 100 years and have had only 3 owners.

In 2007, Eldon and Carol's son Nathan and his wife Katie moved back to Wishek to join the business. Nathan and Katie have three children; Hunter, 16, Elizabeth 5, and Anika 4.

Together they represent a family history of five generations in the building industry.
