We have just taken on the deslership for a Russian Log Lathe designed for building log cabins. There are over 200 of these lathes in russia so far and many being sold into the USA and Canada.

These are now made in china so they are about half the original price and we have had modification done for the Oz and NZ markets (ie aussie 3phase compliance).

Knowing that unless you are setting up a business manufacturing kits for the cabins then $30,000 would be a heavy expense on the price of a home so we are looking at having a few of these put on trailers and renting them out for the duration of your cabin build.

Ideal timbers are pines between 250mm and 350mm diameter and upto 8.1m length.

We even have some pre-done cabin designs with cutting lists and building instructions.

If anyone is interested in either setting up as a business with a log lathe or just would like to hire one then please let us know.
