A good epoxy on bare wood can't be beaten. That's why boats use it.

Unless I'm mistaken, using that on a timber door exterior traps migrating damp leading to rot.
The trick is to make sure its dry before you coat it.

obviously that doesn't solve it.
Properly coated the door won't be allowing any damp in.
I'll admit I've had problems on my boat - but they are the areas where
the damp cover sat on it (should have bought a new one sooner). The damp
has not migrated into the rest of it, and once I'd replaced an inch or
so of timber along the gunwhale the rest of it is solid.
Including the bits I jump up and down on. Which is likely to be harder
work than a door would get.
