2 days to cut and shave a small log
0.5 days for a medium log and
1 day for a large log

Doesn't make any sense to me. All 3 need the same tools.

No they don't require the same tools

A lathe is required to produce a medium log in 0.5 days and 1 day for a large log.

Without a lathe you can produce a small log in 2 days, with a lathe you can produce it in 0.5 days (same time but haf the resources of the medium log) , you also don't require the peavey and drawknife under those circumstances.

Neither the Wiki nor any information in game mentions the need of a machine to make a log.

From what I understand here, please correct me if it's wrong, there's option A: use a peavey and a drawknife to turn timber into a log; and option B: use a lathe to turn timber into a log. Is that how it goes?

Almost ... but not quite - shaving horses are required for the tooled medium and large versions

Exact specification is

1) Shaving and cutting a large log raws:timber>500;days:1;tools:peavey,drawknife + shaving horse
2) Shaving and cutting a large log raws:timber>500;days:0.5 + lathe
3) Shaving and cutting a medium log raws:timber>250;days:1;tools:peavey,drawknife + shaving horse
4) Shaving and cutting a medium log raws:timber>250;days:0.5 + lathe
5) Shaving and cutting a small log raws:timber>125;days:2;tools:peavey,drawknife
6) Shaving and cutting a small log raws:timber>125;days:0.5 + lathe

Machine requirements for object manufacture are now displayed on the build information page for each object.

An implementation of a long overdue feature (though not to my knowledge on any ProgD to do list)

So, for example, the first medium log build information now displays

Object: medium log

Days needed: 1
Raw materials needed: 250 grams of timber
Objects:
Tools needed: peavey
drawknife
Machines needed: shaving horse

Swell! I was wondering why one of the logs were consistently easier to make. (And noted this in the wiki, to calm confused newbs.)

To make a lathe you will need a shaving horse and all the tools needed to make logs with a shaving horse.

There is little need to manufacture a lathe unless you have plans to make huge amounts of logs. The cost of a lathe seldomly outweigh the reduction in manufaturing time for logs.

The wiki entry for Logs says

Logs are believed to be either deimplemented or in the process of being deimplemented from Cantr.

I presume this is incorrect

Strictly speaking it is correct - though not very helpful . Logs were removed but Small logs, Medium Logs and Large Logs were put in their place - The Wiki should really say that.
