Firewood saw that is not a chainsaw

Didn't know that, thanks.

I did try an old Craftsman mitre saw; worked fine on "regular" wood until one particular piece of wood (very dense fibres and heavy) stopped the blade like kevlar stops a chain.

I use my miter saw to cut slices off of splits (across the grain), to make wooden knobs and such. It cuts oak and hedge like butter. It struggles with silver maple. Go figure.

Does anybody make an equivalent to the Wright Rebel these days? If you get really lucky, you might find an old one.

It was a big reciprocating saw with two blades that moved in opposite directions. In the '50's it was sold as a safer alternative to a chain saw, since it only had teeth on the cutting edge and the back was smooth.

Google will find you pictures of it.

Harley-powered ice saw?
