I've combed everywhere I could think and can't find it anywhere here (I think it's also known as bac bac matting?). Used to find it in small placemats but even those are extinct. Cathay Imports in Chinatown has an entire back room decked out in the stuff (from many years back, and it is a nice looking room - wondering if a restaurant used to be there), but they don't sell it - only the usual small-weave stuff, like everyone else does. Any leads for hands-on buying would be great (I'm not in the financial position for shipping charges!). ...AKA "Thirstin' Haole the 3rd" [ Edited by: twitch 2008-10-07 09:50 ]
