Nope!
I went with a combination stain/polyurethane @Brioski. The only brand available where I live that's a combo stain/polyurethane is this one: Varathane. I got it at Home Depot in the paint department. They have several different color options. Some have a satin finish whereas others are gloss. I'd go satin 👍. If you want to know the specific process I used, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a step be step description. My concern with your project would be the kind of wood your accordion doors are made from. Most I've ever seen are either plywood or a thin laminate over plywood (to keep them light for opening and closing). If that's the case with yours, it may be tricky sanding them and then applying a natural wood finish. Plywood or laminates don't take well to heavy sanding then depending on the wood grain once they are sanded, how will they look with a natural wood finish? From your comment above I assume they are currently painted? Like I said earlier, feel free to shot me a PM with whatever info. on your doors that you have - pic would be great too! I'll do the best I can to give you recommendations. Here's my big coffee table after 3 coats of finish with a light sanding between coats. One more coat tomorrow, a light sanding and then an application of paste wax & ... it's done 🍻

Eel (water snake 😂)Today I did a little work on the solid oak coffee table I'm refinishing. It was scratched and water damaged but I think I've been able to sand out all the damage so now it's just applying a few coats of stain + polyurethane finish to it then reassembling the legs and getting it from the garage to the living room. OMG, it's REALLY heavy! Here's a pic of part of the surface before I started: I already finished the matching end table that was also damaged in the same manner as the coffee table. It turned out really well The stain I'm using is more of a honey-brown stain. The color code was 'Golden Oak' on the stain I bought. The original stain was a darker brown. I think the new color is 'warmer'? I'm happy with it in any case.
