I am attempting to rough out some 1m long slabs of black poplar from a wind blown tree, but even crosscutting my little 32cc chainsaw is struggling. I have cleaved 4 and 6 inch diameter timber but this log is 20 inches across and very wet. Does black pop cleave easily and would I be better cleaving than ripping it down with my little saw?
