Transformation Log & Timber Stain

Sashco Transformation Log & Timber Stain is an oil-based, semi-transparent stain developed with restoration in mind, but it is also great on new construction. Transformation Log & Timber will penetrate and protect logs with a beautiful, glossy sheen that will highlight the natural beauty of the woodgrain of your logs.

Transformation Log & Timber Stain is available in two versions: (1) traditional pre-tinted stain (on this product page) in 5-gallon, 1-gallon, and 4 oz sample sizes, and (2) Transformation Log & Timber Flex Tint in 5-gallon pails only. Regardless of the version that you choose, both will perform the same stunning transformation of your logs and exterior vertical woodwork from dull and lifeless to rich and brilliant.

Transformation Log & Timber by Sashco is an oil-based, semi-transparent stain that enhances the beauty of the woodgrain in your logs. Transformation Log & Timber was developed with log home restoration in mind, but it also works great on new log construction. This stain is especially good for restoration projects because it is chemically compatible with a wide range of stains, making it a great choice when you are not sure what stain was previously on the wood. 

Transformation Log & Timber is an environmentally friendly stain made for the exterior of logs and other vertical wood surfaces. The oils in the stain penetrate and protect the wood, resulting in a stunning, lasting, gloss finish. The oil-base of this stain allows more working time, which helps you avoid lap marks. Transformation Log & Timber is available in a wide selection of colors.

IMPORTANT:  Use Wet Samples to choose stain color. 

Before purchasing stain, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND testing wet samples of the stain on your home in the color or colors that you are considering—for the following reasons:

  1. Stain color on your computer will look different on your home.
  2. The appearance of a stain color is affected by the wood being stained—due to factors such as wood species, texture, and porosity.
  3. Wet samples of stain are available at no or low cost.
  4. Choosing your stain color by first testing wet samples to know how it will really look on your home will ensure that you get the color that is just right for your home.
