Someone already answered this one (select "open in Finder").

The Burn icon doesn't appear in the Dock until you start dragging the CD-R
icon you created by opening the disc in the Finder. It's like dragging a
volume, where the Trash icon changes to Eject; if you drag a CD-R filesystem
you've created and filled, it changes to Burn.

Well anybody used to ejecting disks by dragging them to the trash, which
was in and of itself bad UI design, but something many mac users know.

Fortunately, there's also File-> Burn Disc...

Huh? I've burned lots of CDs on my Mac, never once dragged one to the
trash to initiate the burn.

It's not the trash when you're dragging it.

It was significantly worse in OS 9, when the icon didn't change.

You have hormone problems now? I'm sorry to hear that, but I've
always suspected it. There's treatment for that now you know.

He has problems, though I would suggest hormonal ones are the least of them.
