What kind of a saw are you using? If the answer isn't a 30" bowsaw
with a newish blade, then the answer is to get one. A 24" is a LOT
more effort and a 20" is just a joke for such use - back in the days
before all professionals used chainsaws, they often used 36" ones.

But then most people would only use the middle few inches/teeth of any saw!
It's a forgotten art?
Use ALL the blade and teeth in slow movements rather than a few teeth
quickly, if you know what I mean.
Trying to be helpful.
