Stan and 20 have it right. Look at some pictures, look at your tree, and you will figure it out real quick.

I have heard that the modern method of treating the wound is to leave it alone. For sure don't coat it with some kind of membrane/tar kind of stuff. That holds in water and bugs - just what you don't want to do.

Most important: be safe. Think about each cut before even climbing up. Much to dangerous for me to even think of climbing a lader with a chain saw. I'd either just leave them to get on with whatever healing they do, hire someone, or add them to the firewood pile.
