Definition
A worker who removes burls or nubs from wood, cloth, or other materials to smooth or finish them.
Etymology
From 'burl' + the agent suffix '-er.' The word emerged as textile and woodworking industries developed specialized labor roles in medieval and early modern times.
Kelly Says
Burlers in textile mills were so skilled they could feel imperfections in fabric by touch alone—they were the quality-control experts before machines could do the job.
