Spanish term or phrase: pico de loro
Buenas tardes

Estoy traduciendo un texto para una compañía maderera que se dedica al procesado de la madera. El texto en cuestión contiene el término "pico de loro", pero no se refiere a la herramienta con el mismo nombre, sino a un tipo de biselado que imita al pico de un loro. Este acabado también es habitual es productos de cristalería. Siento no poder proporcionar más contexto puesto que se trata de una palabra suelta. Os paso una foto para que veáis a lo que me refiero.

Demi bullnose seems to be the same shape as 'pico de loro'

spike


Explanation:
A spike or a claw (shaped a little like a parrot's beak) would be a part of a tool or handling device for wooden material.
Thus "claw" is another probable definition.
