I wonder, what they mean by "fraction" - 10% or 90% makes quite a difference!

No more than 2-5 knots of smaller size than the side width per the linear meter on each side are acceptable.

Насколько я понимаю про долю, речь о том, что диаметр сучка всегда должен быть меньше ширины стороны, составлять только ее долю. А иначе шо ж это за доска:-)
