If the wood is a bit shit - i.e. full of knots - then (to repeat Airhead's advice) you gotta hit the knots with heat from a gun to push the sap out, then sand, then treat the knotty shitty bits with knotting fluid (liberon do some that worked in my experience), fill any cracks with filler, then prime the fuck out of it before hitting with some good quality exterior paint. It's a lot of work.
Looking at those doors, I wonder if you could make some out of hardwood deck boards.
