<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 9472161, member: 30&quot;]The fact that a black painted circle was sprayed to engulf the knot hole - tells me that the person who built it or owned it - wanted future owners to know that they left it there intentionally, that they felt the spot was competent despite the knot hole. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know this from looking at old home renovations and having circled &quot;bad&quot; spots in sub-surface wood that was still competent, but hidden by my repair jobs. I wanted to let the owners and any future repair people know that I&#039;d found a hidden problem, checked it, and it&#039;s fine. I believe this to be a common practice in building construction. So it doesn&#039;t surprise me to see it in furniture construction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
