Sailfins,
I cannot identify this either, post some pictures when it sprouts. Now you are getting the idea, even if this particular tree doesn't become a masterpiece you are learning the process and that is the important thing right now. A future chop will be necessary once you see where it sprouts. Probably on the thinner portion you retained or possible even lower. You may see this tree in a new light next spring after you have done some more research but you are on the right track for now.
Are you looking to heal the large cut or feature it? Either way I think I would try to get a callous to form around its perimeter. Go over your initial cut with a razor knife, a clean wound will begin to heal better than a ragged one. Consider sealing it with something. There are commercially prepared products but one of the best substitutes I have found is plasticine modeling clay, not Playdough, mixed with a little vegetable oil to soften it.
