Son of a bitch. We're never getting a thread about ropes are we? :(
I don't like 'em, they just look like blemishes.
Knots suck in wood. They might look pretty but they completely ruin the wood if they are in a spot you need to cut through/do something with. Basically, they make giant holes when you touch them with enough force.
They're pretty okay I do not dislike them or like them with a passion
If you’re lucky they might save you having to drill a hole in your neighbor’s fence
This was unexpected. I'm with Rantz on this one though
One time in Tae Kwon Do I had to break a board for a belt test. It had a knot in it that I hit so it came out and hit the master in the face. I still passed the test though :p
Lulz, how did they react?Quote:

Basically so long as you can plan out the usage/cuts of the wood according to the knots, then you're good to go. People will pay good money for a nice lookin' cut.
