Painful splintered fingers - What do you do?
I just finished building some saw horses, a workbench, and started working on my first few canoe and kayak paddles. But man, my fingers are extremely sore today. I got about 6-7 splinters and various cuts here and there. I was going to try some gloves, but I don't have anything that would still allow me to feel the wood well.
What does everyone do to treat sore fingers?
What does everyone do to prevent sore fingers?
Thanks!

Another option is do more physical labor.
I have always done as much manual labor as I could even when I was a desk jockey. My hands were always tough enough that I have never been bothered by soreness. I can still get splinters, but I just pull or dig them out and get on with it. Of course many city people are in circumstances where they really haven't any hard labor to do. In that case, I am sorry for you but I have no solution.
