If it was daily use then maybe so. I guess I never considered how rough oak/pecan/hackberry/elm/chittamwood would be.
Quit working so hard...that should do it!!
We have had good luck with Tillman gloves, their cut resistant gloves seem to last awhile.

I’ve gone through/worn out hundreds of pairs of work gloves, and for now, Wells Lamont water resistant leather gloves are holding up pretty well. I think I have at least 4 pair.

Oh part timer.
I've used Tillman, leather, gloves (1424's) for a number of years and have had good success with them.
It's my exercise. Since January I've cut and split over 5 cords of hardwood with my trusty Fiskars X27 and a cheap Harbor Freight maul. Sadly, I don't have a wood burning stove or a fireplace.
Another Tillman wearer. Good gloves.
In high school, I worked at a planer mill in the summer and we'd use the gauntlet Wells Lamont split hide gloves that all the chicoms imitate now.
We'd only use one pair in about 2.5-3 months because 1. They were high quality and 2. To make them tough, we'd glom the pitch from leaky boards all over the working surface of the gloves. It gets in the leather and coats the outside and turns it into armor...as long as you were using regularly, they wouldn't crack because of constant movement and all the sweat and oils getting in the glove.
