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.
We did it on a bandsaw, but a good operator with a hand saw should be ok.
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.
Maybe an air saw....
If it is a side or rear exhaust, that would work great.
I don't think i am what you call a "good operator" but i will give it a try. Freezing before cutting makes sense.

Gee thanks Dave! Now you have me thinking about doing this for feral hog processing!!!
Of course I'll have to designate a different spot in the cabinet for "Pneumatic Meat Tools Only"!
Remember Gallagher? You could use the Sledge-O- Matic!
It slices and dices and is the kitchen tool of a thousand uses....

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.

Just take your time. The saw cuts straight unless you twist the handle rushing. Roasted Marrow? Definitely in the top 5 favorite foods...JJ
