Kirschbaum-Maserholz
Explanation:
Hi Nicole - this is another one of those differences between UK and American English. Burr is the BE term for AE burl.

Maserholz:
Vom normalen Wuchs durch Faserwirbel abweichende Strukturen; sie ergeben beim tangentialen Einschnitt oder durch Schälen überwiegend rundliche Formen, wie z. B. bei Rüster. Maserholz kann in Knollen oder auch in Stämmen vorkommen.

Burl
The American term for a growth on a tree which we in Britain call a burr. See also: burr (1)
Burr (1)
A large wart-like growth, with twigs sprouting from it, found on the trunk of a tree. Internally the wood tissue is very confused and usually contains numerous dormant bud formations. The wood cut from a burr usually shows very attractive figure and is very highly prized by turners.
