Lay log in, clamp it, then run saw down each cutting slot, lift cut logs
off. Anything that means, position, clamp. cut, reposition, clamp, cut is
going to be tedious.

Last time I looked saw horses varied from £12 for something that looked
lethal to £80 for one that had a holder for the chainsaw that permitted one
hand to hold the workpiece.

However another £40 buys a much better device with a built in circular saw
and kill switch. You use these by dropping a log into a tough. Pull a
handle and the circular saw chops the log. Push handle and slide log to the
right, repeat.

IME chainsaws are better for logs. Circular is ok when the material is
reasonably straight and sits squarely on its supports but, since logs
tend to be all over the place, the blade will tend to bind.
Often you find you don't need a sawhorse with so many logs lying around.
They support each other
