Hi all,

is there a reasonable chance to glue in the loose part of knotholes?

I'd prefer to keep the knot, but the standard option seems to be: drill
it out, replace it by a bigger plate of matching wood.

Use epoxy colored with Vandyke brown(oil based) artist paint and some wool
'flour' to fill in and hold the loose knot. The concoction tends to shrink
slightly so I pile it on a little. After sanding, the repair looks very
much like the pine knot material. If I were you, I would experiment on some
scrap wood knots first.
