Baker Lumber is \u201cThird Generation Family Owned & Operated – Since 1938!\u201d We learned of Baker through the Pomona Heritage group\u2019s recent home restoration workshop. <\/p>\n
Marshall Baker is the owner. On our first visit he cautioned us that he is closed Sundays, Mondays, all major holidays, and any time there is a significant motorcycle event such as the Gran Prix at Laguna Seca. <\/p>\n
There is an original pencil drawing of Stevie Ray Vaughan on the wall and Marshall\u2019s father\u2019s \u201850\u2019s vintage Ford Pickup is parked out back next to an equally vintage motorcycle. <\/p>\n
Motorcycles, classic pickup trucks, Blues guitar, and oh yes Lumber!
\nMarshall is a Pomona native and has worked at Baker Lumber for 44 years. He is active in the Pomona Heritage group, having conducted a \u201cWindows and Sliding Doors\u201d class at the recent workshop, and is familiar with the issues and challenges of Pomona\u2019s Craftsman homes. <\/p>\n
So before you spend more at Home Depot or Lowes, and before you give up looking for that special size or shape board, give Baker Lumber a try. Just be sure to check the motorcycle race calendar before you go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
