These doors were badly faded by the sun, but no cracking. The owner was fixing to sell the house.
I stripped off the finish and re-stained the wood a darker color. Those doors are big..... about 9 or 10 feet tall and really heavy. It took about 3 days to complete the job so I had to take down the doors and but them back on each day.
I wish I had taken a Before picture. I ended up also doing a bunch of trim painting on windows.
I though they came out really good and the homeowner was happy.
I would try stripping the finish and then fill in the crack with an outdoor wood filler. Re-stain the door and put 2 or 3 coats of sealer.
