Aa veneer lathe charger and method of operation to center logs for transfer to a veneer lathe to obtain optimum yield of wood veneer at a higher production rate up to 15 logs per minute is described. The method includes scanning the log to determine its optimum yield axis while the log is being rotated and moved laterally toward a transfer position and adjusting the position of the log spindles to align the optimum yield axis with a lathe reference axis at such transfer position for transfer to the veneer lathe axis.
