I'm assuming you mean a knot in wood here? I like the other sort. Always
fascinated me, but was useless at tying them.
Now of course I cannot learn as I cannot see the many videos about this on
the web.
Why am I fascinated, well you can in fact make very pretty patterns with
knots etc, and its just pleasing to see.
Well it used to be.

That's a dead knot. The branch died off but remained
attached to the tree and subsequent rings on the trunk
grew around it. Basically its no longer attached to
the subsequent growth and so can be knocked out of
the plank. And so is a source of structural weakness.

Had it been sawn off next to the trunk before it died
off then there would have been a tight or live knot
inside the trunk which would be revealed when the
trunk was sawn. While its of a harder consistency
it's part of the growth and unlike dead knots
doesn't weaken the timber.

It's a wood knot in a piece of two by two. I was surprised that it looked just like another perfectly circular in cross-section piece of wood had been inserted into the hole.

When my son was in his teens, we rented a holiday house. The internal doors
were all pine. My sin discovered that if he pushed hard on a knot, the knot
pooped out. He left one door looking as if it had been machine gunned.


Your son sounds as naughty as I was at that age.

I see. I always thought knots were stronger, as they're bloody hard to saw through. Never thought of "dead knots".

So this is live?

Nar, he has replied to some of my comments which weren't top posted.

Maybe top posting might be easier for him tho, be interesting to know.

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with
what it actually is.
