How do I refinish a wooden door with crackling (alligator-hide)damage from the weather. Stained, not painted.

Wooden door was never properly sealed and has developed fading and crackling. Want to know how to fill and what finishing coat to use over the stain.How do I refinish a wooden door with crackling (alligator-hide)damage from the weather. Stained, not painted.
You could possibly start with a stain stripper to get the stain off, then lots of sanding. Lots. Then re-stain the door and use several coats of rub-on/wipe-on polyurethane. Minwax makes a good wipe-on polyurethane in several different finishes, satin, semi, and high gloss, and since it's wipe on...no brush marks. Your door will then be sealed properly.How do I refinish a wooden door with crackling (alligator-hide)damage from the weather. Stained, not painted.
LOTS OF SANDING THEN RE STAIN HAND RUB IN MIGHT TRY THOMPSONS IF IT STILL GETS DAMP OR WAX HAND WAX AND SOME MARINE VARNISH
