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.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'forming brace' is the wordplay.
'forming' is an anagram indicator.
'brace' anagrammed gives 'CABER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
