mahogany door refinish

Sep 09, 2006 2 Replies

My builder sent out a slip that said the put bullseye shellac on my mahogany front door every year to keep it looking its best.



Shellac is a pretty weak finish for use. I'm was thinking more like Helmsman spar polyurethane to hold up to the elements.



The top and bottom of the door are not finished. Should I seal those or leave them open to let the wood "breath".?



What would you guys recommend for finishing a mahogany exterior door.


Use a Marine product it will flex better, Helmsman is ok.
