I don't have any burlap

We call it hessian here and it was used for chaff bags. Bags for other grains were mostly made of a more closely woven jute. The bags that contained superphosphate would be soaked in a dam, spread on fences to dry and sent off to be refilled.

Fabric stores sell burlap, at least they did last year. Broadswords are pretty big! Can you get a really big, long box like an artificial tree comes in and wrap it in that? Or a huge rectangular or square box so he won't have any idea what it is! A bicycle box, etc. You could probably get one from a bike store. Or I do know that Dollar Tree has really big, big gift bags for bicycles and they are only $1. You could fill it with stuffing or plastic or anything you have on hand to fool him with the shape.

i was wondering that myself.burlap to me is the course brown feedbag cloth. plastic you can't even really reuse it for anything.

I'd be afraid he could injure himself opening it. I'd just leave it near or under the tree.

Old fashioned burlap might be available as a designer wrapping cloth!

I don't think that sword should be wrapped with burlap, may be the blanket would be deserved.

lol i can imagine some scratching their heads whats burlap they will sayh but have seen it a loit in my child hood on the farm all sorts of stuff came in burlap bags

wrap it next to a mop! lol

Wow! A sword? How cool is that! At the store where I work, these very heavy bird baths made of aggregate come wrapped in burlap coffee bean bags. It accumulates to the point where I brought about ten bags home. Wish I had known you needed some, could have forwarded it via old Saint Whatsis.
