A knot hole refers to a hole or void in the wood that is caused by a knot in the tree where a branch or limb grew. When a tree is cut down and sawn into lumber, the knots in the wood can leave behind holes or voids where the branch or limb once was.

Knot holes can vary in size and shape, depending on the size and position of the knot in the tree. Some knot holes may be relatively small and round, while others may be larger and irregularly shaped.
