    Yeah I wear and don’t wear, you’d think I’d learn something with slivers and whatnot but it’s a matter of what I’ve got on hand so to speak. All kinds of gloves I will use but some leather ones from HF have been my go to’s.

    I work with gloves on.
    Because we have all succumbed to the dreaded revenge of the wood syndrome.
    That one time you go to pick up a split or round and it bites you back. The splinters or the pinching of fingers, we've all been there...me more than most!

    Glove up or feel the pain! o_O

    Never with nude hands.
    First of all I'm tired of all those splinters that she laughs at and won't help with her sewing needles.
    And, those tiny cuts while sharpening spoil the modeling career .:hair:
    When chainsawing I now always use Kevlar gloves Don't ask why .

    I wear gloves for just about everything I do outside.
    I have a pair that just gets stuck in the wood shed just for doing wood.
    I have them stashed everywhere and in the summer,
    there's always a pair in my back pocket...….
    cause you just never know what's going to happen.
    I get the leather work gloves, 3pac, at Costco.
