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 you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'brace formed' is the wordplay.
'formed' indicates an anagram.
'brace' anagrammed gives 'CABER'.

'from' is the 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" .)
