Running a saw wide open will actually do it more good than running at partial throttle - they are designed to be used wide open.

Swamp, Jim King has written on other posts on the FF.  That is the way they do it in Peru all the time, they freehand the logs into cants and pack them by hand to a mill to saw into boards.  You will be amazed at what you will be able to do with minimal tools.

I have been considering doing this as well looks like I will have to give it a go here when I find a suitable log.

There's one under the snow in Centreville, NB.

Might be a little far for me to travel  :D, but we have a few large oaks that were downed last fall in a wind storm we have been making a lot of fire wood out of it but now we are down to a very large trunk that I could possibly use for a few posts
