Hi all

I'm going to put a rebate in a pine door (french doors/lap koint), and am
curious to know whether routing over the centre of a knot would cause a
problem.

I'm going to seal the knots first but am worried that the force of the
router might knock it out?

Any help welcome.

Regards

Matt


Using the turner's friend, thin cyanoacrylate glue, is always a
possibility. It will hold knots and close cracks in wood (or in your
fingers for that matter; LOML, a florist, swears by it for that
purpose). Of course even with the knot secured, it still behooves you to
take it slow and to use the sharpest possible cutter. I've cut rebates
and slots and dovetails in rather knotty southern yellow and white pines
after using cyanocrylate.
