Not sure how to title this, let alone post it.

I am missing my left hand. I wear a prosthesis. I built a custom bridge hand which hooks into my prosthesis. It works pretty good. I made this thing like 20 years ago out of a broken metal hook(fake hand), folded newspaper, hot glue and pool table cloth. After 20 years, it has a bit too much bar dust, chalk, spilled drinks, etc on it. I'm going to reconstruct it. I have everything except table cloth.

I need a couple of new scraps of cloth. Ideally the would be 12 x 12, but really they could be any shape. Green would be preferred, but any color would be ok. They can be any shape or size. When I cut pieces for attaching to the device, they will all be under 3" x 6" and nothing will be square!

Any idea what type of cloth would be best? Right now I am using whatever was cheapest in 1993. It was scraps from when my fraternity house had their table recovered.

I can post a pic if it is hard to imagine what I'm doing.

I'm posting here because I'll bet every table which gets recovered has more than enough scrap to do what I need. I will pay for shipping or some for the cloth, if needed.

Anyways, thanks in advance for your help.

Nathan, I have extra cloth here, it is just a strip measuring around 5-6 inches by a foot or two. It is brunswick cloth which has water resistant quality. It won't get wet even if you dip it in a glass of water. I'll give you the cloth if you can use it. It's color green too.:smile:
 
I really appreciate so many people stepping up. Dartman got a piece in the mail already.

Thanks everyone for the offers and thank you Dartman for getting a piece in the mail. I can't wait to rrebuild my bridge hand!
