One First Matter All

Hi there,
Been working with this American hornbeam for a couple of years now. I made a large chop last summer, and the tree responded well. However, I've resigned myself to the fact that the large wound is never going to heal over. Any advice on what to do with it? I expect to position the tree such that the wound faces the back. However, it's still unsightly. Should I try to carve it out?
To give you an idea of where this tree is headed, I do plan to reduce the top at some point, likely where the red line appears on the photo below.
Thanks for any feedback.
