Custom Milling/Photo Contest 2025

Celebrating Craftsmanship: Showcase your Build. Inspire the Next.

Your Project Belongs in the Spotlight

There’s something deeply satisfying about creating with wood that’s not only premium quality but also sustainably sourced, locally milled, and made to match your exact vision.

At Issaquah Lumber, we believe great projects start with great materials — and that means offering builders, designers, homeowners, and craftspeople a curated range of wood products from around the world. We proudly source sustainable, high-quality softwoods, hardwoods, and specialty species, bringing together the best the world has to offer — so you can build without compromise.

But no matter where the wood comes from, it’s what you do with it that tells the real story.

Built to Last. Crafted to Inspire.

Every week, we get to see what our customers are building — a timber-frame getaway nestled in the trees, a backyard pergola that becomes the heart of family gatherings, or a set of stairs that transforms a landscape into a destination. These projects aren’t just impressive — they’re also a testament to the beauty and durability of our materials, as well as your craftsmanship.

If you’ve completed a project using Issaquah Lumber products — whether it’s for your home, a client, or your business — we’d love to see it.

Custom Millwork, Personalized Projects.

While we stock an impressive selection of premium softwoods, hardwoods, and specialty timbers, many of our most unique projects begin in our custom millwork shop. From bespoke beam profiles to precision-cut siding, stair treads, and timber frame joinery, our in-house capabilities enable us to tailor wood to your specifications, regardless of the scale or style.

We partner with clients on everything from one-off components to complete takeoffs, delivering materials milled to exact dimensions, textures, and appearances. It’s part of our commitment to help you build without compromise — with wood that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Let’s Celebrate What You’ve Built.

If you’ve created something meaningful with wood products from Issaquah Lumber — whether straight from our inventory or tailored in our custom shop — we want to see it.

Your photos help us celebrate the craft, the creativity, and the connection between quality materials and thoughtful design. And for those considering a project, they offer the best kind of inspiration: real results made from real wood, right here in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Enter our 2025 Photo Contest.

The 2025 Issaquah Lumber Project Photo Contest is your chance to showcase what you’ve built using our products — whether you sourced cedar from our Northwest inventory or modified wood and hardwoods from across the globe.

If you’ve completed a project using Issaquah Lumber materials, including custom millwork, we want to see it. Residential or commercial, large or small — every project tells a story.
