Apparatus for rotating a log delivered by an infeed conveyor about its longitudinal axis for delivery to an outfeed conveyor comprising a main frame and a rotatable housing mounted in the main frame having a passage therethrough to receive a log from the infeed conveyor. Log gripping spike rolls are mounted adjacent the passage and are adapted to grip the log while permitting continuous forward movement of the log along its longitudinal axis through the passage to the outfeed conveyor. The spike rolls are mounted to the rotatable housing for movement with the housing. A drive motor rotates the rotatable housing through a selected angle to rotate the longitudinal axis of the log held in the spike rolls.
