I made these doors 12 years ago for our small condo and they have never been refinished. It's past time to do it and I am in need of advice. I would like the look to be as close to the original as possible but with water damage I think I need a different approach. The original finish was a non grain raising brown mahogany dye stain from Constantine, followed by brown mahogany paste filler from Constantine. I then brushed on several coats of McCloskey Man O War spar varnish. I rubbed out the brush marks with steel wool dipped in BLO. There is a shot of inside the door that shows what the original finish looked like. I believe I need a pigmented stain to mask the damage. The top of the door is not too bad but the bottom has been exposed to sun and rain.
How should I proceed?
