It has been mentioned by at least one other LJ that since there seem to be more than a few of us here in Texas, particularly coastal Texas, that a Texas LJs get together might be a good idea. And since I am sure it is more than just me that has lots of scrap hardwood, partcularly pecan and mesquite bits and pieces, that maybe we can do a good old fashioned Texas BBQ… LOML and I are looking for an excuse to head out somewhere like Lake Texana anyway….
I make a mean Brisket, and LOML makes the best Fajitas…

No bunk house, but I have no fewer than 10 tents. (Range from a Eureka Solitaire, basically an overglorified Bivy Sack, to a Swiss Gear 10×20 3 room tent with a 6’ 5” center height.)
What furniture show?
How about New Braunfels during Wurstfest? Wait, might not be a good idea, beer, sausages, and power tools. Bad plan…

Jim,
Air fare is a little rich for my blood. How much is a bus ticket?
Greyhound Bus Lines, not just transportation, it’s an adventure!

David,
Thanks for the offer, but I think we’ll stay home and bite the…....bear. Air travel dominates in Alaska for a good reason, driving anywhere takes so long all you have time for is to turn around and go back home…...........think of me while you are eating brisket and fajitas (-:

I’m on the south side of Houston and would like to attend. My schedule is a little crazy with two young kids, so I will leave the planning to someone else. Thanks for the interest, and I look forward to the outcome.

I am one of the Texas coasties…When I ain’t makin’ sawdust or traveling for my job, I am fishin’!
Derrek…I live in Angleton. I make trips to Houston Hardwoods or Charlie’s, depending on what part of H-town I’m in. If I am around, I would definitely like to meet some fellow termites.
I found out about this site from 2coolfishing.com They have a woodworkers page on their site also, but most of it is duck calls, bottle stoppers, pens, and some really beautiful hollowed out work. It is a great site and good people…just like here…Vic

This sounds like a great group. I’m always ready for BBQ. I just took 4 chicken out of the smoker. Been smoking since 4:00 pm so 6:30 hours smoking.
Cherry and maple wood smoke. It’s 1030 PM and the family just finished off one chicken.

Depending where it is to be – the coast isn’t more than about 4-5 hours from Waxahachie.
