Razor,
I've seen it done in person. You take almost any current 2 man team of world class competitors in hand sawing and they will beat any stock chain saw thru a log for a single cut.

David Foster was the only axeman when chopping in competition that I could feel the shock of his hits transmitted thru the ground where I was standing 30 feet away. His long undefeated run in world competition made it even more amazing when a good friend of mine Melvin Lentz beat him to win the Australian Timber sports underhand chopping finals for the Championship.
David is from Tasmania.
