We have 8 raw Vic Ash doors ready for staining and varnishing and I am chickening out - being a complete novice, I think the period style doors are beyond me and that I should just stick to the skirts and archs. Anyway, my builder told me there is a company that comes and takes away your doors and stains/varnishes them, but he couldn't tell me who.
Can anyone advise if there is such a place in Melbourne, and is it likely to be very expensive?

Roddy, go buy a piece of timber the same type if you dont have one and try it yourself, this site will help I imagine http://www.vintagedoors.com/stain.html
Former boss used to do metal grilled door within a door setup, combined entry and screen/ secutity door. Was always heavier and more awkward than a normal entry door, and custom made to order. We had this guy do the measures and installs. I understand that he measures, sources, finishes and hangs doors as his primary occupation. Not sure if he will finish only or finish and hang doors that he didn't source, but it might be worth asking.
