	Couple of comments: 1) I'm in the camp in favor of building a caber out of 2x6. They are relatively inexpensive, incredibly tough, and can be had by anyone with access to a lumber yard. I cut a taper into the bottom half of the boards with a Skil saw before gluing and screwing them together. I have a 16' that I made last summer, and I'll be building a longer one this summer. 2) One thing that helped me early on, before I had my own caber, was to practice the pick, run and pull with a good sized rock. it will not substitute for the real thing in terms of balance, but it did help me learn a little more about the plant and pull part of the throw.
