Axe versus Saw Test with Data

I really think that depends on the size of the wood and how accesible it is. If it's something that can be easily cleaved with 1 or 2 swings of the axe but takes 2 dozen saw strokes an axe wastes less energy. If it's in a tight spot where getting a good swing is impossible or if the wood is extremely hard and you can't get the axe to bite deeply then a saw would make more sense. I for one love bow saws for pruning dead branches on orange trees (hard and dense stuff) because even if I could get an axe or large chopping blade in there the saw is way less effort. When limbing a small tree or sapling with 1 inch branches blades are way faster and less effort.
