rádica

Rádica Natural - Lamina obtida de protuberâncias que se desenvolvem nos troncos das árvores com raridade, cuja melhor tradução seria uma verruga ou câncer vegetal. Erroneamente se imagina que seria a raiz.
burr wood
A burr (or burl in USA) is an abnormal growth on the outside of a tree varying in size from a walnut to several feet. It will have lots of little twigs growing out of it. Each twig means a small "eye" or knot will exist inside the tree. The timber obtained from such burrs is invariably more colourful and always more highly figured than wood obtained from the normal tree growth.

It has a tendency to develop cracks and other character defects whilst seasoning, but they rarely detract from the attractive appearance of the timber

yes, carvalho is oak, but my answer was rádica, not carvalho. Thank you!
disagree Marcella S. : burn wood is a type of high quality polished finish to a wooden product eg. table top or the wooden facia of a car commonly using walnut wood which gives a very nice burr wood finish. Often done using a wood veneer finish
