Default Need to refinish a mahogany front entry door

All,

Need to refinish my mahogany front entry door - would like to undertake this myself,
however not clear this would be the best course of action.

Understand that finishing in place is not practical and I do not have a spare door to put
in place while the door is off being refinished.

Spraying a large surface with multiple coasts of spar varnish in the house is also not a
good idea.



It's a door not a work of art. Put a drop cloth on the floor. You can
strip sand and varnish the thing in place.

Spray??? A paint brush will work just as well.

It's said necessity is the mother of invention. Are you finding it
necessary to invent an excuse to get out of doing the job?
