    A tip that was given to me by another MSEer is to split eucalyptus immediately, because it hardens up considerably as it dries.

    Guess I'll be splitting logs and cutting the branch wood tomorrow as long as it doesn't rain.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    reciprocating saw might be a better option.

    The problem with a reciprocating or circular saw it that they tend to be two handed tools so you would need to secure the bit of wood you are cutting.
    With a jigsaw, not only does the saw itself push the work down but the other hand if free to hold the work then move it along for the next cut - much quicker.

    having thought about it, you are probably right, a jigsaw is easier to manage.

    The op started the thread in March and hasn't returned so clearly isn't interested.
