Day 1. Plastic wedges. Been cutting firewood for three plus decades and only recently, the past year or so, started using plastic wedges for bucking rounds. When you see the kerf narrow slightly set a wedge with a tap, using your hand, 2" limb wood, 3# hammer, whatever. Then finish the cut with ease. I keep several in my saw kit and one in my back pocket when the saw is running. These logs happen to be on a cut table but it works well anywhere. If you only have one saw because that's what you have, or using a quad and don't have room for a second saw, be sure to carry several plastic wedges in you kit. (EDIT) Be sure to turn saw off or set the saw brake before setting a wedge.
