Hi all, sorry if this isn’t 100% the right sub. Feels a bit trivial for r/restoration lol but I tried r/cleaningtips and didn’t get much.

The outside of our front door has really “dried out” over the last few years (built in 2021). The pictures show both the outside and inside for comparison. The inside still has a smooth feel to it but the outside feels almost like raw wood. Not sure if I need a specific finish, oil, repaint, a whole combo job or where to even start. Not even sure if this is something I should attempt on my own so please help me with my ignorance. Thank you kindly
