I just got, and stained, some knotty alder interior doors... beautiful. Question: Do I need to polyurethane them, should I poly them? If I do, it'll just be satin, but I suspect they'll be even more pretty w/ some poly. I just tried the wipe-on poly on a test subject and it seems kind of a pain, two coats. What are your considered opinions on poly/no poly, and what kind of poly for interior doors?
Thanks for the prompt reply. But sorry, when you say "oil" does that mean varnish, or the good ole stuff grandma used to treat furniture with? And how is it applied?

Teeter means the old school stains yes like grandma use to use. Example shellac. But those old school stains can be messy and smellie best left to someone like teetor or slick.
