A board inverter for mounting to a lumber conveyor includes one or more arms mounted to a freely rotatable hub, which in turn is mounted to a lumber conveyor. The arms each include a recess set into a trailing edge, for receiving a front side and lower face of a board, whereby forward motion of a conveyed board lodges the board within the inverter and causes the inverter to spin about its axis, thereby rotating the board about its long axis and depositing the board back onto the conveyor. The inverter is associated with an array of lugs, having a generally plow-shaped front face. The lugs are mounted to a conveyor and serve to engage an array of boards and convey them in a transverse orientation along the conveyor. The lugs cooperate with the inverter to rotate boards as the same are conveyed along the conveyor.
