I do quite a bit of woodworking but almost all of it is interior furniture, cabinets, etc so this exterior stuff is pretty new to me. Here's the question, we have a huge 42"×8' solid Mahogany front door with sidelights and it's a bitch to keep looking nice, looking for ideas on what to finish it with? First time I had to do it I called the manufacturer and got the stain color and type of clear (marine grade polyurethane), I'm only getting about 2 years out of it! It's a bitch to strip, touch up the stain and re clear! The sun rises facing right on it, I know that's the big problem and adding more shade would help but until we replace our roof that's not happening. Any suggestions, maybe an oil so at least I'm not stripping poly, maybe a better clear?
