Sorry Chuck. I'm OCD about the right tool/right job thing.

One word pro tip - Bonfire.

A chainsaw makes quick work of 2x6 pine board and that’s a good thing when you’ve got dozens and dozens to cut.
Once my saw died I was relegated to cutting them with a saws all, a lot slower but I got the job done.
