SIX inches in diameter? That is a monster knot…
I could not see Dave’s picture. I assumed we were talking about knots under 1″ or so. I was so picky about knots at first that it was really causing me problems finding suitable stock. Now I allow small <1/2″ knots in my projects. Allowing these knots is like therapy for my anal retentiveness.
I have read that a toothing iron/plane can help with the planing of knots and the surrounding grain.
So if my knots are no bigger than 1/2″, and not loose, do I have to worry about filling it with epoxy?
