Solid wood (not strip wood) softwood doors are a pain unless they are expensive ones, they go all over the place if you have centrall heating or constantly changing humidity levels.
A pressed hardboard panel door is better and lighter, the doors made from finger jointed stripwood are more stable than a solid one, I have these in our house, all half glazed, still straight with no warping. or swelling, light stained and just two thin coats of acrylic varnish to seal them, a slight rub down then wax polish, come up good evry time.
