Need to refinish this door and don't want to scratch the glass, but would like to use a powered tool to do the job.
Easy way to strip this varnish?

Get some Dad's Stripper.
It is in a blue gallon size can and it used to be sold at Wal Mart for around $20 a gallon. It will take everything right off. Wear gloves.

Tape the glass prior (2 layers of blue tape)...sandpaper and scrapping tools will scratch it
remove the glass panels.. one side should be nailed in. Just careful pry the retaining trim off the muntin
The Dad's stripper is fast.
It is a gel so it is not real messy.
Think of Muratic Acid in a gel form.

Spent the better half of the day doing online research on what to finish it with. Seems there is no miracle product (the sun beats the crap out of this door in the summer). So far I'm leaning on what I treat the logs with, requires maintainence, but seems to hold up and not get flakey.
Blend of shingle oil and boiled linseed. Any other finishes I should look at?

Look at INTERLUX marine products , they do wonders for wood finishes and they last for years. A little heavy on the $, but well worth it!
