Frame African Mahogany Boards… to use or not to use… that is the question

Had one board planed in the shop and ran into this issue where it appeared there were no knots in the board but suddenly there are after the planing. Conundrum #1: Can I use the boards with the small knots in the frame, or should I just get more boards without this issue? Second, I have some boards with wavy lines and what appears to be some runoff into the side of the board. Conundrum #2: Can I use those boards for the frames? We’ll see after I do more research.

Knot or NOT Largest knot on entire oard 4 knots in one section Wavy Board with Straight Top Runoff or Not Runoff or Not
