I am not sure if this would work on very thick long bones, but have you
considered a bone - nibbler, such as commonly used to perform a craniectomy?
Admittedly the skull is not so dense (usually) as a femur but the bone -
nibblers come in different sizes and a large one (double hinged) might work.
Only hand power needed and if you wear it out - get a new one for next time. It
would be worth testing on an ox bone.
Also - do you think a pipe - cutter would be too bulky?
