Take it back if you haven't used it yet. Get a chainsaw, or sawzall, or handsaw, or just use a hacksaw if you have nothing else. Any saw is going to be less work and have a cleaner cut, and be more useful for other things.

  • Chainsaw - only worth it if you have outdoor space with trees and whatnot that will likely need trimming/chopping in the future. But if you do, it's nice to own a little chainsaw.
  • Sawzall - pretty damn handy to have if you're a DIY type. Can't say I've ever cut something as big as a railroad tie with a Sawzall, but it should get by with a long blade. What it lacks in performance on this job would be made up by the usefulness of owning a sawzall.
  • Wood handsaw - cheap enough I'd argue it's worth owning one anyway. Not one of the giant ones, but a 15" or so. Here's one for $10 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-20-526-15-Inch-12-Point-SharpTooth/dp/B0007XJO48/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525109398&sr=8-3&keywords=wood+hand+saw)
  • Hacksaw - honestly it'll probably cost you as much to get a decent blade (assuming you already have a hacksaw) that could cut that wood as it would to just get the hand saw above. And it's not going to cut as easy. Scratch that, hacksaw is a bad choice.

YouTube is good for tutorials. For dovetails, and mortise-tenon joints, you would need a good set of chisels. I these from Bahco, and I like them. you will also need a 3000/8000 grit sharpening stone, and a sharpening guide for the chisels.

Other than that, a nice tenon saw, like this and a regular crosscut saw like this.

A wooden mallet would be good for the chisels too.

Do you have any tools already? I made a reply a few weeks ago with basic woodworking tools and you can probably find it in my comment history.

Bahco is nice and quality, Stanley, not so much, but saws get more beat up than chisels, and they are much harder to sharpen, so on a hobby level, buying cheap, and replacing frequently, can often be a good choice.
