Brace formed from log (5)

I believe the answer is:
caber
'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" .)
