The store owner is negligent. I was dreaming, and wishing,
for a quick fix I could do, inexpensively, so that myself
and other customers don't get splinters. I havn't asked the
store owner, actually. I neglected to measure the handles.
Rubber tubing pushed on sounds great idea. Elephant condoms
are comical, but something of that nature would help with
splinters.

Wood-handled wheel barrows should not live outside, but you
know that.
But if the handle is giving splinters, I'd eyeball the whole
handle real
close to make sure it isn't about to split further south,
and dump a
load of wood on somebody's foot. Is the store owner pushing
this, or the
customers?

If it is one of the common designs, many rural hardware
stores have
replacement handles. If your heart is set on keeping the
existing
handles, I'd just find some rubber or plastic tubing of the
right
diameter, and work it over the handgrips. What is the
diameter of the
round part? If it is small, bike or motorcycle handgrips
might work.
