Why would you need to get rid of the circles? Those circles in the wood where the branches connected will go as deep into the wood to however thick that trunk was when those branches started growing. So if they are thick lower branches that have been on the tree for a long time, then those “circles” will go right into the middle of the heart wood probably. I’m not totally sure what you’re asking. I wouldn’t take any more tools to that tree, it looks pretty well mutilated to me. Did you mean to take out that much wood? To me the “circles” in the deadwood where branches were add a lot of interest to dead wood. No sense in cutting the tree in half to try to dig them out…
