I want to achieve a limed oak effect for some new oak doors. Googling has
taught me that this seems to be a UK thing (typical - limeys) and not that
popular here, and nor can I find many products here. Has anyone done this
using products available in HD etc? Any tips gratefully received

Actually, the term limey's is a nautical thing, dating back to sailing ships
and scurvy or, in the case of limeys, the lack of scurvy.....

Here's a general finishes link. I think the effect you're going for is at

Good luck with your liming,
