The Name

For over thirty years, a sign has hung in Redmond Oregon for Great Ned Woodworks.

Under that sign, Lee Barker made custom cabinetry, furniture, and what-all for the Central Oregon community. It was a great run for Lee, capped by developing and marketing the Barker Bass.

When his step son Joe Post was ready to start his own business, Lee was ready, willing and able to make room.

Even as he retires, Lee can be found offering Joe input on business, woodworking, and community. The story continues here at Nedson.
