Decent hardwood you wouldn’t have to treat so aggressively compared to the softwood crap you get today.
On the heat gunning the knotts - why can't I just use something like colron knotting solution on its own? Why do they need blasting first?
Because it brings the worst of the sap out so the knotting fluid has a chance of working.
You’d kick yourself if you didn’t do it and the paint fails a year down the line because it got hot and it pushed the paint off.

I can't imagine it's any harder than making some garage doors (which I easily have the ability to do BTW) - it's more the time cost.
I'd still have to paint and fit anything I make. My dad suggested I check with a carpenter for how much it would cost to get some made, but I assume they'd want a couple of k, assuming anyone would quote in the first place.
