How easy is it to cut railway sleepers with a bow saw.


My, admitedly limited experience, of trying to cut, split or otherwise
reduce in bulk railway sleepers indicates that they are made of the
wood equivalent of concrete. These where real ex-service sleepers mind
not just 7' lengths of 10 x 5 softwood though.
