Today at someone else house, I got a splinter in my thumb
from a wooden handle wheelbarrow. The woman there had got a
splinter, also.

I may be back in a few months, or I can contact them by
mail. I'm curious some ideas to make the handles safer.

The wheelbarrows are for moving fire wood, in front of a
store. They are outdoors all summer. This is in NY state,
USA.

I'm thinking coat of polyurethane, wrap in electrical tape,
sports tape, the wide stuff with the zigzag edges, spray
clear spray paint. Who has this knowledge? Tried and true,
please.

One word: duct tape

Two words: leather gloves.
