Decided to splash the cash (£8.99) on this S&J garden saw for cutting up smaller logs to pen blank size. To say it cuts through green wood like a hot knife through butter is an under statement !!! I tried it out on this 7" Chestnut stump and it took less that 90 seconds to slice through it even though the stump is in an awkward corner and the saw stroke was considerably reduced ! It's going to be ideal for what I have bought it to do.
