Lap Marks:
You
can see the definite streak in the finish where one side is lighter
than the other side. This happened when the logs were being finished.
The applicator stopped at that point (probably at the end of the day)
and then resumed later (probably the next morning). The overlap area of
the finish will always cause a dark streak in the wall because of the
build-up of finish in that particular area.
Prevention: When coating logs with stain or finish, never stop in the middle of a wall. Finish the entire wall before taking a break or quitting for the day. Coating across an entire log is also a good way to prevent lap marks.
Treatment: Other than stripping off the finish, you could go back and try to touch up the area, feathering from darker to lighter. This blending may not completely remove the lap mark but will make it less noticeable.
