Darn, hazard of the hobby. Got a splinter

[LCHIEN]

This tiny little sucker was super tiny and super painful, these old eyes could barely see it. My supersharp tweezers were able to enlarge the entry hole and snag it. It was less than 1/8" long.

It was very shallow, hurt like the dickens when it went in. Couldn't see it but when pressing on the area it hurt badly. I was finally able to see the outline with magnifying glass and good lighting. I gave a blood sample earlier in the day end even though they stuck me twice to get it, it hurt less than this.
These are some frighteningly sharp tweezers and this sucker is even sharper!

I feel for you ... I get far too many splinters. My wife is a nurse and an expert on removing splinters both wood and metal.

I have had more than my share of them and I know that I am not finished getting them. That said, the majority of splinters to me is from plywood - i.e. generally not the sanded or cabinet grade plywood.

Splinters, yes occasionally, but cuts from sharp edges in freshly cut wood, YES! I must have soft skin, because I get cuts like paper cuts when handling a workpiece fresh off of the table saw. It seems that maple (which I've been using a lot of the last few years) is the worst. There's a big box of bandaids in the shop to handle my affliction.

Nothing like bloodstains on freshly cut project wood!

I've been cutting a bunch of hard maple lately and keep getting sliced like paper cuts... I thought it was odd, but now I understand! And slivers! I machined a bunch of rough cut hard maple and was averaging about one sliver every 1-1/2 hours of woodworking!
