Nice looking game. Where did you get that game mat? |

It's not a mat. It's a championship grade billiard table baize. I managed to blag it free, via a company doctor, from the mill where it was made. It is 97% Marino wool, and it doesn't lose it's shape when stretched over hill shapes, even after weeks. The 7m x 2m length they delivered (with a fault I've never found) was worth something over £700.00 GBP 15 years ago. It's far too good a cloth for what I use it for – hell, it's better material than most of my suits. It does need respraying again (with rattle cans) to tone down the green a bit, an ongoing process and over the years I've used 30 cans plus now – it wears off but never permeates – it's as perfect green on the reverse as it always was. |

This is exactly the colors I have been looking for. Base of green with a little yellow and tan added. But no one I have found makes it. I was pretty excited to see yours. I was going to order one immediately. Oh well. |

The company that makes the cloth is called Hainsworth, then hang it up and spray it. Some brown first, then lots of yellow, lots and lots of yellow. |

That is a great looking cloth. Nice game. |

For old snooker baizes, contact a snooker hall and see if they'll sell you an old one when they recover the tables. It will be full of chalk (wash outside in a big bucket a few times) but I use the rougher reverse side to game on so 'upside down' you will not get the lines or D marks anyway. Snooker halls only throw them away, I think. |
