how do you call those things in wood? - space-time - 09-14-2011

when you cut up a log into boards there are sometimes those round "defects" where there was a branch growing and you see that in the board. eventually if wood dries at some point that thing can pop out.

Do these things have a specific name in English?

Thanks
