We have recently purchased a 5 year old log home in northwest AR. It was a lincoln log kit. Anyway, the logs were stained with a base deck stain that looks like a brown base paint, almost. Is there a way to take this off and stain it properly and what stains are good for pine logs.

The best method to remove the old stain/finish is to corn cob blast it. Corn cob blasting is a dry process. Never power wash you log home as it drives the water so deep into the wood fiber that it will not dry out properly. The stain that I prefer is Life Line made by Perma Chink. You can get it from Timeless Wood Care Products. Their phoneis 800-564-2987.
