I plan on building a reproduction of a late 1700 or early 1800 desk made in Savannah and need some wool baize fabric.

Does anyone have a source here in the US?

Thanks for the help!
 
I have built several 18th c. card tables and I used "pool table fabric". Mac Headley, the retired cabinet maker at Colonial Williamsburg, said this is the material that they use. My local pool table store carried several colors. The fabric cuts easy and does not fray on the edges.
