Crossword Genius

Brace formed from log (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caber

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'log' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'brace formed' is the wordplay.
'formed' is an anagram indicator.
'brace' is an anagram of 'CABER'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caber that I've seen before include "One Highlanders toss" , "Pole thrown" , "that's elevated at 8 [HIGHLAND GAMES]" , "Trunk tossed in the Highlands" , "Tree trunk tossed in sport" .)
