You could cut it off at an angle (so rain runs off) and bark or cleft graft 
around the stump, only letting one of the scions turn into a new trunk.  
I read, maybe mistakenly, that Antonovka rootstocks are seedlings; why go 
into vegetative repro?  You lose the advantages of seed growing--ease, and 
reduced disease concerns.

That reminds me to ask, I have a cultivar which I plan to discard which was

pondering whether to destroy the stump or to try making a stooling bed out of 
it.
