wood beads, how do you make them?

Is there a machine that can mass produce perfectly round beads from a 1 inch by 1 inch stripping of wood? If not what is the fastest and most economical way of turning large wooden beads? How do they do it in Indonesia?

1. Lathe? Followed by tumbling?

3. They are so inexpensive to buy, in all kinds of sizes, why would you even want to. They are manufactured in the millions. There would not be a market for hand crafted beads, unless you carve a design on them, or maybe wood burn a design. Something that makes them unique.
