(crescent-shaped) stays or log server
Explanation:
medias lunas -- could be crescent-shaped devices which hold the log at either end while it is being handled. I got the idea from this term, although it refers to shoes:

servidor de trozas -- although "log server" is a computing term it it also denotes a device used in sawmills to handle logs -- this reference is to a "log server" which has gone faulty, causing a safety hazard:

Primary Band Saw Log Server - Drive Motor (3 Phase) Terminal Box Cover missing exposing live terminals/conductors.

as an alternative to "(crescent-shaped) stays" you could put "(crescent-shaped) log holders" which would apply whether these devices hold the logs only at the ends, or along their full length as you believe

hola Mayra, te sugiero que controles "log dog" en Imágenes de Google para ver fotos... yo lo he hecho usando las palabras "log dog" sawmill timber (sino aparecen imagenes de perros adorables) -- pero puedes variar las palabras según el tipo de imágenes que quieres que aparezcan. http://images.google.es/images?gbv=2&hl=es&sa=1&q=+"log dog"...

Según las fotos que he visto me parece que "log dog" es un término con uso bastante generalizado significando "ayudante con las trozas" y abarcando tanto el transporte de las trozas desde su sitio en el bosque como su maniobra en el aserradero, por eso sí que sería una opción para tu texto.

Notes to answerer
Asker: ¿se podría usar "log dog" en lugar de "log holder"? encontré esto en http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/log_dog: log dog (plural log dogs) 1. A device for holding a log in place while it is being worked on. Either metal rods driven into the wood or a mechanical clamping device (perhaps hydraulic or pneumatically activated).

  -> Hi, Cinnamon. I just thought the term might be on that page, so sent it. Was too sleepy to go on searching.
