            Nice clues there, clever
            1A
            One who chain-saws down a tree and leaves behind the near-ground part? / Or this riddle itself if it baffles you. (Don't worry, it won't -- you're plenty smart!)

            Across
            1. 1A
              One who chain-saws down a tree and leaves behind the near-ground part? / Or this riddle itself if it baffles you. (Don't worry, it won't -- you're plenty smart!)
            2. 5A
              Cleo took her boyfriend's name (his first initial in the back) / To create this word for "opposite word". (She had the word-coiner's knack...)
            3. 6A
              Seven continents? Nuts! That's a concept we should fix. / If you count this as one continent, the number drops to six.
            Down
            1. 1D
              In most of this place there's a whole lot of nothing, if you ignore the cosmic ray. / And "nothing" is made with this keyboard bar, in a useful kind of way.
            2. 2D
              If you stutter or you mutter, then when all is said and done, / One can say that you do this in part, and do it in more ways than one.
            3. 3D
              Suppose clothes were alive and that they could breathe the same as me and you. / This garment's breaths would be short and fast. (How's that for a weird-sounding clue?)
            4. 4D
              In a drum/bass mix you'll find this dance, or this old-style music of Cuba. / The music makes use of congas and claves, but not (to my knowledge) a tuba!
