No, I meant the chicken bones -- many chicken bones are too small for
that, but leg bones have some marrow -- hence extra flavor in the stock.
 
 DS>  and lamb leg to expose their marrow?

If you are going to just use the bones in stock would it be ok to smash
them with a hammer and then strain the result at the end.  Or wrap the
smashed bones in cheese cloth, like I do with some spice mixtures in
certain dishes.

Speaking of bone saws -- we once went to a halal market to get some
goat.  While we were waiting, the staff were cutting up chickens into
small pieces using a band saw *and* not wearing any glove.  We know a
butcher who lost part of several fingers when he neglected to wear his
steel mesh glove.
