Gloves

[sirlight]

I wear Wells Lamont Leather Work Gloves bought from costco. They are pretty rugged but the finger tips will eventually wear through. Once the fingers start to wear out I just wrap some duct tap around them. You get about double the life out of your gloves that way. Firewood is very abrasive.

The gloves are actually on sale right now at costco.com 6 pair for $24.99.

I tried but gloves just get in the way and hang up on stuff. Feels more dangerous when splitting. So I just go without gloves and let your skin get tougher.

To be fair, we do firewood work in the summer after the mud dries out so not in the cold.
