Thanks. Would a new door be worth it? Semi serious. Hate our current doors.. but if they would still require a lot of prep then prob (k)not.
CYOA-
I can only say that I have bare doors at home that are in similar condition and I didn't fancy the work it would take to fix the flaws.
They might look better painted even if they need nail heads filled and have gaps in all the joints.
Not sure on a new door, they are not as difficult as exterior doors, depends on the state of the liners. How square and true are they?

I hope you're going for a rustic look, if not you are going to have a lot of preparation in any case.
My first thing would be to put the infrared heater on it and see if it boiled out like sap.
Something like Knotting or Shellac or Zinnser BIN are good at this kind of thing. Just don't apply it and then sand through it when you're prepping.
