Log forming brace (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.
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?
(Other definitions for caber that I've seen before include "Something tossed in the Highlands" , "Scotsmen throw it in sport" , "Pole tossed in Highland games" , "Scots projectile" , "Pole needed for game up north" .)
