I learned about this method here (i believe it was Chef Jimmy): cutting marrow bones lengthwise. Can this be done with a hand meat saw? Will it shred the marrow?
Freeze them first and cut them with a VERY sharp saw blade. We did some like that a few years ago to roast and serve the bones to eat the marrow with bread.I learned about this method here (i believe it was Chef Jimmy): cutting marrow bones lengthwise.

Good idea, but a word of caution, a lot of those saws exhaust the air from the front to remove "sawdust" from the cutting path, that exhaust will have oil residue in it most of the time.
Gee thanks Dave! Now you have me thinking about doing this for feral hog processing!!!
Good point..... flush with edible mineral oil... really well..... then oil with mineral oil....
If you have a Workmate bench, or a vise, you can cut half way and then flip around to finish. I'd put wood between the vise jaws if you go that route.I don't think i am what you call a "good operator" but i will give it a try. Freezing before cutting makes sense.
Yeah...I don't own a table saw. Like i said in the OP...hand meat saw.I do it all the time:
1. Freeze first
2. wrap in plastic.
3. cut on a table saw with a carbide tipped blade.
Takes about 5 seconds.
