Eye-shaped twig mark on a branch or wood

[elinelin]

Hi! In Sweden, we have a special name for the twig marks that look like eyes on branches and various pieces of wood. It's where the twigs fall off or are cut off where that mark can be seen. I've been looking around online for a good translation of this word without any luck. It's as if the concept of it looking like an eye isn't even mentioned anywhere. I would be very grateful for any ideas on the subject as I am trying to translate an important text. Many thanks! Elin

Welcome to the forum, elinelin.

You’re probably thinking of a knot.

the hard, cross-grained mass of wood at the place where a branch joins a tree trunk;
a part of this mass showing in a piece of lumber.
