A super-lightweight caber is probably 60 pounds and 15-16 feet long. The novices at Woodland apparenlty used a 55 pounder last year. The BigGuys in mens "A" and the pro classes hereabouts toss 18 footers that weigh around 120 pounds.

There is no "standard" caber. It's just a stick...a felled tree, hopefully barked and dried, trimmed down to 'about the right size". I understand that the local judges pick a caber for a competing group that they think that 1/4 - 1/3rd of the group will be able to end-for-end. They choose that days caber out of whatever supply they have on hand.
