I've Got Some Work Ahead of Me!

Well I'm about 2/3 done with my firewood project.  It's looking like it will be about 2 cord of split wood, maybe more.

Some of you have read my rant about leather gloves and how I have yet to find a pair that will stand up to something beside gardening or light lawn work.  Well...  after wearing the fingers out of my Milwaukee branded pair I ordered Wells Lamont Premium Leather work gloves from Amazon. 

This is what they looked like after three days of cutting and splitting.

Good job Nick! I haven't split wood in a few years, but I do recall going through several pairs of split leather work gloves over the course of a day-long chopping and splitting session. Don't know if any leather glove will stand up to that kind of punishment for any extended period of time.

This is what I buy for everyday use. Great until you get them wet. For rain or wet conditions I have some of those coated rubber type gloves.
