Sharon , I would love to learn some basic SketchUp details if you have the time : )
If I brought more of that Honduran Rosewood with me , do you think anyone else would be interested in it ?Most of the stuff is 1.25-1.5” square X 12-18” long.
I’m going to try to get Joe from Downes and Reader to come to the picnic…maybe he can bring us some “samples” of their fine lumber. I got some excellent PurpleHeart from them earlier this year.
Looking forward to seeing you soon , my friend .

A big “Thank You” to Rockler in Cambridge. I too have found them to be really helpful!
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks Rockler, I don’t live in Mass. but I frequent the one in So, Portland Maine. I alway find what I want and if I don’t know what I want they usually do. All I have to do is give them a rudimentary, and usually bad description of what I’m trying to accomplish. They seem to be able to read confused minds.

Just a thought as I think the bigger the crowd the better.

If someone had ‘watch’ turned on in the first or second post you did about this, and they missed the third post, then somebody who signed on for the gathering might not have all the info now that you’ve updated.

Suggestion: go back to post 1 and 2 and leave a link that says take a look at the updated post #3.

Waddya think?

Good idea Daniel!

For the record, it was Rockler.com that stepped up this time ;)

Calling all Lumber Jocks on the Left Coast. What say we try to have a get-to-gether?

Sacramento? Bay Area? This Fall? or next Spring?
What about during the woodworkingshow in Sacramento mid November?
We could even let Jim from Oregon come into the great state of Calif. Or Todd from The Big Sky Country.

Forgot to mention on the other thread that I can bring a camera.

Sorry I can’t make it. I’ll be in PA with my daughter, watching big time softball. If you’re keeping a list for future attendees please add my name to the list.

langski93 – sorry to hear that, but we’ll have more of those, so no worries. keep an eye open , as I’ll personally add a post whenever something comes up – and other’s may as well.

cheller – hope your strong tentative is becoming less tentative and more definite yes – bring camera, I’m sure many will. have you had a chance to PM with Barry regarding picking him up?

Haven’t PM Barry yet but will as soon as I’m sure I’m coming (probably sometime this weekend).
