Most likely a very sharp full skip, square ground chisel, ripping chain.

Yep!    :yeah:   He said sharp right.

As a log furniture builder for 35 years I've been around a chainsaw or 2. I run full skip tooth and sharp chains, but not a square ground chisel(not familiar with that) but will look into it. Curious why somebody would cut firewood with a ripping chain (made for WITH the grain)  :dunno:

These cuts are not with the grain, they are ACROSS the grain

From the pictures it looks like they are with the grain. If across the grain I would expect to see individual piles of saw dust at each cut, and further away from where the wood would be. . The picture looks like the sawdust is in 1 long row.

When i did a wilderness area trail maintenance trip, the double buck crosscut misery whip saws left noodles just like that.

Would be an odd place to use a saw like that but who knows...

Way back a bud had one of the Jonsered 110’s. That thing would leave chips you could mill 2x4’s out of!
Ok, not really 2x4’s, but the thing sounded like an angry dirt bike!

The logging boys got it. It's a full skip chain. Used to have one on a big STIHL that would scream through timber. They speed up cutting when you need a big saw to run a longer bar. It cuts faster and has less drag on the chain. Mine only had a 36" bar and it left shavings like that.

I have run full skip on my saws for years, never got shavings.  Maybe like you say, its because of longer bar/lots of power....seems like overkill for the diam. size of firewood they are cutting.

I know nothing about saw work, but want to learn more.  Like how the heck to keep a chain sharp for longer than the cutting of 5 rounds...
Anyhow, this video, the second cut sure does produce shavings like what is seen in the OP.

Full comp or skip or half skip will all do it. Take the drags down, and get longer noodles.

Seems like one time I recall a guy telling me he had a skip and a half chainon a 38" bar but I have never actually seen one. I remember him saying it would leave long curled shavings instead of chips also.
