Athletes - I need a general HxWxL on a 20# sheaf to be filled with twine. I'm fairly amazed that I can't find this information anywhere on the internet.
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
That's because there's no standard size. You just make a burlap bag about 18 x 18 or thereabouts and stuff it in there. Small is good, of course, but you know that. I honestly think that some guys use a trash compactor to get them as dense as they do, because I can jump and pound on a sheaf for two hours and never get it as dense as most guys do.
Alan, any clue on generally how much twine is needed? I called around a few places and I could hear the blank stares over the phone when I said "I need 16lbs of twine".

Hmm. If you are talking agricultural twine, it works like this. Twine is sold by the bale. Each bale weighs 40 lbs. and contains two rolls of twine. Twine comes in four principal weights: 7200 feet per bale; 9000 feet per bale; 10,000 feet per bale; and 16,000 feet per bale. So, your 16 lbs. of twine should be very close to 4/5ths of one roll of twine.
Some garden stores will sell twine by the roll instead of by the bale. If you can get one roll, put it on a scale, pull off enough twine to get the roll down to 16 lbs. and you're home free.
