There is s wood putty that should set up hard, or use Elmer’s wood glue and sawdust to fill the hole. Make a paste of it and stuff it the hole.
If the hole was drilledin a wall, there are tubes of repair filler for small jobs. A link attached in case its needed. Good luck
I have heard of people using toothpicks to fill a hole along with wood glue or another type of adhesive. Your hole may be to small for that, though.
The wood putty shrinks a little, so fill it, let dry, fill again, dry, sand and proceed with your knob
Thanks to all of you. I got some wood filler and have filled the hole. I'm just waiting for it to dry so I can sand and re-drill. If that doesn't work, I'll try the toothpick trick.
