Slater "Trainer" True Log
If our "Pro Series" Log is an heirloom table, this is the workbench!
The "Trainer" Log is a historically-inspired, stripped down version of our standard "True Logs". We have designed these with the intention of providing a high-quality wooden log that has the same feel as our standard "True Logs", is easy to maintain, and comes in at a price point similar to a quality metal log.
If you have been wanting a Slater Log but are afraid others might not take care of it as well you, this is your solution. We purposefully do a light, basic sanding that holds chalk well and prevents any major splintering. We omit stain and clear coat, which allows scratches, gouges, etc. to be left alone or easily sanded out with no refinishing required. Without rope, the logs have a lighter opening weight, but the sleeve-ends allow over 300lbs to be added using standard 25lb plates.
Plus, the 6', 7', and 8' Trainer Logs still come with Precision-Balancing, just like our "Pro Series" Logs.
Like all of our wood products, the "Trainer" Logs are made in our Ohio, USA shop.
Current Lead Time: 4-6 weeks

Freight Estimate Details
The 12" Slater "True Logs" ship using a semi-truck.
A shipping estimate deposit is determined and required at checkout. The estimate is based on what we have determined to be an average freight cost shipped to your part of country, and assumes delivery to a commercial address.
The final shipping amount will be determined around 2 weeks prior to the shipping date, and will be based on your delivery preference: Terminal Pickup (cheapest option), Commercial Delivery, or Residential Delivery. Local pickup in Lancaster, OH is also available.
Once the final shipping amount is determined, we will either issue a refund or request additional shipping funds, depending on the final freight cost. For a more accurate shipping estimate before purchase, please email landon@slaterstrength.com.
Production Info
All wood products are made to order and may take 4-6 weeks to produce, depending on availability. Additionally, True Logs are made from wood, which changes slightly based on its given environment. As a result, small cracks or "checks" may occur, but they do not affect the structural integrity of the log.
Please email or call if you have any questions prior to ordering.

FAQ
What is the estimated shipping and arrival time?
All Slater wood products are made to order, so lead time varies slightly based on demand. Currently, the lead time on Slater Logs is around 4-6 weeks.
Can you make the log weigh an exact weight?
No, but we can try to get close to a target weight if desired. Log weights vary drastically from log to log, based on a number of different factors. That said, if you are looking for a log in a particular weight range, we will try our best to find a log in our inventory that will suit your needs.
Will I need to maintain the Lifting Log?
The Lifting Logs come to you kiln-dried, so you shouldn’t see much change in the wood, nor will you need to do any immediate maintenance. Checks may grow slightly. These checks are natural, and almost always, these are not a structural but only an aesthetic concern. If you would like to fill them, we recommend filling checks with clear ‘Big Stretch’, available at most hardware stores.
