Things are waking up early this year, I'm having to start work early . So for this guy I started by chopping by 2/3, there's a new leader behind the saw, it's just hard to see. I will be planting on a board then in the ground for faster development. I'll take pics of that when I get around to it tonight or tomorrow.

Nice!
Do you think that the lower side of you chop will die, and be come hollow later on in life?
It looks like the callus is not growing on the bottom of the cut...
What's the best way to avoid that?
....make a flat cut and allow to die back a bit, then whittle it down to live tissue???

It only died back a little, and only in-between the lower big cut. The only reason it did that is because I made the lower big cut as well. It did not go down to the roots. If you look very close, at the tip of my finger, you can see a V of the dieback. Red maple do not suffer from die back like that and within this year it will start rolling over at the bottom. If you look at that march 25 pic there was a bottom shoot there and I let that run, but for too long before chopping it and had to bite the bullet, and just removed it. Then let it grow at the top leader full throttle. Withing a couple seasons it will be completely healed.
