Consider also the gloves used by masons. They're usually cotton with a
stubbly, non-slip rubber coating on the palms/fingers side only. They're
good in hot weather, okay in cold. You can buy them by the sackful at
the neighborhood big box store.

After complaining to my wife about the situation, she suggested rubber
gloves. You know the type, the thick yellow rubber ones swmbo uses to
do the dishes. They're thicker than latex surgical gloves, but thin
enough to feel what's happening. I stretched them over my hands and
proceded to move wood. I was surprised by how good they were. They
kept my hands warm (probably too hot in the summer), prevented
splinters, and provided an extra rubbery non-slip grip.
