From my analog forestry dict. for björnbindelse = "hävarm med kätting för förbindning av bindkätingar".
Provides great nice color in any case.

The next entry is 'björning' as 'åstramninging och fästning med björnbindelse'; and the Eng term = 'tightening (with a bear trap)'.
The next entry is 'björnkoppel' = binding chain with bear trap
And the next entry is 'björnstock' as 'stock på vilken underlag vilar' = head log
Honestly, I couldn't make this up!! ;-) They have no pictures, tho.
