Which wood tio make an external door out of?

door looks a lot older than 35 years - do you know what type of wood it is ? sometimes old stuff like that are made out of wonderful hardwoods, could make something nice out of it
 
It certainly had a lot of sun over its 35 yr + lifetime. I've used a 12 yr woodstain which claims high UV prorection after first dipping the top & bottom in wood preservative. Gave 2 coats of varnish on each side and 4 at the edges. Fitted it this morning and it seems fine.
Thanks all for the tips. I teally do appriciate them.

Missed your post Mumroast.
I said 35+ cis that's how long I'vo owned the house.
If it's the original door, it could be 135 years old.
Not much of a carpenter si won't be using the wood. Going to the dump tomorrow, unless you're anywhere near Sutton and wanna take it off my hands
