Pine exterior door Refreshing this 117 year old beauty
OK I’ve owned and worked this house for 20 some years. It’s time for round two with the front door! Here it is ! Will take my time and surely have decisions that I’ll need and want your suggestions on! Enjoy the ride with me!
Paint is not an option. This will be oil and varnish only!
Current state. The spar varnish was mostly gone south of the window. I sanded that but it needs more. Above and around the window the 20 YO spar varnish held up. I’ve removed most of it with a heat gun this morning.
Plan is to remove and repair or replace trim around the glass. Sand and seal perhaps with shellac to even up the grain color. Then move to Waterlox sealer and perhaps their Marine top coat. At least 3 sealer + 2 top coats.
Yes I’ll be at this for a while!
