Unfortunatly you can't chop skeletons down for the single bones, because their body still has cartilage and stuff like that, and you can't use things that rot.
You can butcher skeletons that aren't too small / came from sentients
... really? Because i have giant bushtit skeleton around, and so far my dorfs haven't tried butchering it... or do I have to get them to haul it to the nearest refuse pile?
It has to be a nearby, unrotten, butcherable thingy.
... and stockpiling is an easy way to make it nearby.

Allowing a skeleton to fall several z levels wouldn't turn it into useable bones?

If it was a resurrected skeleton it might. As an item_corpse, no.
