In this video Mark Donovan, of HomeAdditionPlus.com shows how to refinish a
door and to restore it to its original beauty.
To restore a door you will need an orbital sander, 60 and 120 sandpaper, fine
steel wool, and a
foam sanding block.
Before starting the process of refinishing a door remove all of the door
hardware, including the door knob, and door hinges.

After sanding the door down to bare wood, apply a single coat
of stain, followed by two coats of polyurethane. Allow the door to fully dry in
between coats of stain and polyurethane. Also, lightly sand the door with fine
steel wool in between coats of polyurethane. This will help to achieve a
smoother door finish. Make sure to always wipe the door down after sanding with
a clean, dry rag.
Finally, apply a coat of butchers wax over the door to create a smooth silky
finish.
