Another option would be to go slowly and do one cut this year and the
other next year. The cambium self-repairs so there shouldn't then be a
problem.

I half sawed through the underside of a pine branch to lower it in
spring 2002. The cut was made neatly and carved clean and then closed
completed by wiring the branch down. I was quite surprised that there
wasn't even a check to the tree's growth. Now it has healed completely
and is almost unnoticeable.
