Excellent!

Don't skimp on preparation though, or your caber might not last a practice session. After the caber is shaped to the way you want it fill any cracks and the grain with a good wood glue. After it's dried sand and seal the whole thing.

In Arizona they've been fiberglassing their cabers and that works really well, but adds quite a bit of weight and cost. On the plus side it gives them a pretty bulletproof caber that will stand up to even the worst throws on bad ground without cracking.

If you can, please post pics of the process once you get started.
