Log Home Restoration: Another Cedar Garage Door

Cedar Garage Door

This garage door had a linseed oil based stain. Between the sun and applying the stain to an improperly prepared surface, it turned black in a matter of a few months. Most likely, the door was cleaned with bleach and not rinsed well enough. Also, it probably was not neutralized. The homeowner thought the door was beyond repair. We were in the process of stripping it when this picture was taken. We did neutralize afterwards. Makes all the difference!
