You can't stain a door that is already sealed. You have to first remove the sealer down to bare wood so that the stain can penetrate into the wood to the color desired, then reseal with a polyurethane or spar varnish.
Add the wood stain to the linseed oil until you have reached the desired color for your new door. Be sure to test the stain on the same kind of wood as the door so you will know the true color once you apply it to the door.
You don't. You will most likely have to restain after stripping.
Yes, it was discontinued. its a very important thing to my step mother and shes got a new door and would love it. where could i get it? ----- ADDED: I have had good luck by using one layer of Minwax Rosewood and another of Minwax Vermont Maple (water-based). Hope that helps.
Plain Lindseed Oil makes a fine finish for just about any wood. It is cheap, easy to apply, but should probably be applied yearly depending upon weathering. You can mix it with a bit of motor oil to darken the stain.

I would think the red was stain and the door Oak. Could be Mahogany, but doubt it.

yes you can stain it with a glaze.
Remove the door from it's hinges by pulling the hinge pin out. Sand the door down to bare wood. (Or use chemical products to remove old finish.) With a clean paint brush, apply your new finish to the door. If it's a stain... let it sit until it gets to the desired darkness and then rub the rest off with a clean cloth. A couple of coats should do it, with a light sanding in between. Finish off with polyurethane. Rehang door when satisfied. That's about the best I can tell you with the little information you gave.
Well you get your brush you dip it in the paint and then you stroke up and down with the brush on the door!
Mahogany is less expensive, but Oak will last longer. Your OPINION must decide which is best for this application.

I have certainly reused Mahogany with lots of success. I have taken old door jambs and ripped the edges off to make some gumsmacking drawers and shelving.

If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.
