English translation:bristle board ???
Explanation:
CAUTION - bristle board is NOT made from wood!

<<Bristle boards are what you'll find in just about every modern bar. They are made from tightly packed nylon bristles and can last many years if they are rotated often. Bristle boards can be purchased for around $25 and up, which also makes them very affordable.>>

Presumably the bristles are held together by a ring or "band" of steel. A translator having a definition of this "bandé" aspect might have assumed that "board" meant "wooden board", i.e. a bristle board made of wood fibres (who knows, perhaps they exist).

Le bois bandé est préparé en faisant macérer l’écorce d’un arbre que l’on trouve dans les Antilles et en Amérique du Sud (Richeria grandis). S’il semble effectivement avoir des propriétés vasodilatatrices efficaces chez l’homme, il convient de rester prudent : les effets secondaires sont encore mal connus
