Default Does anyone own any burlap sacks?

Hey, does anyone have any burlap sacks which they are willing to photograph?
If y'all could post pictures of them under a public domain license, that would be great. I'd do it myself, but I lack both the necessary camera and burlap sack. I'd pull pictures off google images, but I need to have a clear public domain license on the images.
Any variety would serve well, weave density does not matter.
I assure you, this is for non-commercial uses.


Thanks.

I've been told the GNU Free Document License would work as well. I'm helping to write documentation for a wiki, and we're planning a gallery of different varieties of burlap.

LMFAO.. so true... I've got duct tape and haywire, but I'm lacking burlap at the moment.

I purchase tons of grain. Years ago, a lot of it came in burlap bags. Now, they come in some sort of bag made by weaving some sort of thin white plastic. I have hundreds of those laying around, but no regular burlap any more.

I once saw a burlap bag on television.

We have plenty of baling wire and duct tape at the farms. As DrPizza mentioned, the grain used to be transported in burlap bags. Now it's plastic. I'll see if I can look around and find some, though. Wouldn't surprise me if we have some... somewhere.
