My new oak door got a sun tan

[brightspark]

parents front door is Burmese teak, my dad rubbed it down with linseed oil every few years (probably 5 years?)

apparently that's how it had always been done, door was over 100 years old and still good as new :-)

its ok as long as there isnt a dust bowl about

We have those same doors from Howdens. (Plenty of places sell similar) They don't recommend any product that doesn't allow the wood to breath. Osmo do a door oil specifically for this type of application, and this is one of Howden's recommended finishing products, https://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/osmo-door-oil?
I bought a 1 litre tin and have treated 9 doors to 2 coats and have some left. The finish is lovely. Apply with Osmo's application pads (white Scotchbrite type stuff but non-abrasive) to work it well into the surface, leave 20 mins and wipe off the surplus.
