Default Burl and Bourle (french)

The English Harrarp's (2001) does not have the word BURL. The Canadian

states that a Burl comes from old French "Bourle". I wonder what the French
woodturners are using today to depict a flattened knotty growth (burl) on a
tree.


So are the naughty growths on women the reason we have "bourlesque" shows?
Bwahahahaha...
