Hello,
I have had a number of my internal doors dipped and stripped, the results of which I'm pretty pleased with, questions I now have are:
1) what would do you think they are made out of? How can I tell?
2) I'm planning on sanding them down and oiling them up, probably with Danish oil. Do you think this is the best / easiest / quickest option? Or would I be better off going for wax? Considering that some of them aren't in very good condition, they have little filler marks all over them and I don't really want them to get any darker?
I have read around with mixed answers over whether its better to oil, wax or varnish. Ultimately I want a decent finish that is not ridiculously time intensive as I have 11 to do.
Thanks very much for any help you can give me, I'm very appreciative. ESpecially as once I have finished the doors I can have a go at the fire place which should be more enjoyable!!
Thanks again,
