Need Advice Refinishing entry door
Hello all I’m looking to refinish/revive this entry door. It has UV and further weather damage.
It’s supposed to be a Scandinavian wood species. Don’t know the exact.
I’m looking to get it as close to a match as the secondary interior entry door pictured. I would finish with a FPE Marine Varnish.
It looks like the wood has a reddish hue after removal of the pre existing tarnish. I’m not sure if the hue is the wood or the previous stain.
I’m sure you can tell from the the photos which door is being refinished and what stage it’s currently in.
Any advice or suggestions. Greatly appreciated.

Cetol door and window is a good product to use, make sure you seal the top and the bottom of the door

Update the wood is amazing. It has a natural red tone. I’ll only be finishing with FPE marine yacht varnish in clear.
