I have some new interior Oak veneered doors.
Which product would you recommend to finish them off? We do not want them to look "Varnished". What size tin will I need for 3 Doors?

Osmo door oil. This comes in a 1L tin which will do about 12m2 with two thin coats (always apply Osmo thinly with natural bristle brush.
A door is roughly about 3m2 with both sides so you should be ok with one tin.
I have some old oak doors which are covered with paint. I'm proposing to strip the doors back to the original wood, and once back to the wood I would like to give it a clear oil coating. What would be the best for oak doors and how many coats will be required to get the best look? I'm after a good quality finish and look.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Osmo Polyx Oil in either a matt or satin finish. This will give excellent protection but also a fantastic finish that is very natural and won't hide the oak under a varnish/lacquer surface coating.
I want to purchase an oil to apply to
oak skirtings
and oak internal doors which have previously been waxed - is this possible?

You need to be very careful because the wax is likely to prevent an oil or hardwax oil product such as Osmo from penetrating into the pores of the wood. This would leave it sitting on the surface and it may fail to dry or be at risk of marking. We suggest you sand off the wax back to bare wood and test a small area first.
Which of your products would you advise for applying to interior stripped pine doors?
* * *
We would recommend a hard wax oil finish such as Osmo Polyx Oil in either a Matt or Satin finish.Sometimes new pine can get a yellowish effect with a clear oil or varnish, in which case you may wish to use one of the Osmo wood wax stains first and then finish with the OS clear oil on top.
