English term or phrase: burred walnut
Can the meaning of "burr" as described in ordinary dictionaries as "To remove burrs from" include or imply "To polish" and/or "To gloss" when used in the word "burred walnut" of any furniture? Because they are always beautifully shining.

wood containing a pattern of dense swirls in the grain
Explanation:
My Concise Oxford (11th ed p 188) explains `burred` as:
(6)...[as a modifier] denoting wood containing a pattern of dense swirls in the grain.
So, `burred walnut` is walnut wood that has a prominent grain. You will see some woods (eg.柿 ) used for their attractive/decorative grain in some furniture (eg. Korean chests).
BTW A `burr` can also be a rough protrusion on a cut of piece of metal etc, or a seed stuck in something (eg. in a sheep`s fleece) but, not in the case of walnut. Same word, different meaning/usage.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

杢クルミ(材)


Explanation:
こちらのグロッサリーによればburrは米語でいうburlにあたるようです。

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.

Burl
The American term for a growth on a tree which we in Britain call a burr. See also: burr (1)
