How to use

Shave with a taper drill along the diameter of knot.

Shape with a wood plug under a branch a little thicker than the hole of the knot.

Drive a wooden plug coated with a bond agent into the hole made in the knot with taper drill.
Cut off the projecting part of the wooden plug, finish the cut off part by sanding and it will turn into a beautifull live knot instantly.
