No. Your only alternative now is to paint them. If you do, BE SURE
you use a stain killer primer (like Kilz) first or the knots will bleed
through the paint.

I posted earlier but for whatever reason it didn't make it thru. I noticed
the OP cross-posted his question to several groups and maybe that's where my
reply went instead of here.

Paint is certainly an option but he could also use gel stains and/or artists
paints to lighten the knots and blend them in by feathering the stain to
lessen their presence.
