You'd be better getting a paint & varnish stripper such as Nitromore's to strip the varnish off, then sand & wax afterwards.

It's probably wise to give it a try on the interior of one of the doors beforehand to ensure the end result is going to be successful though. :eek:

Otherwise you could try sanding them down to get rid of the orange tinge to get a more natural pine look, then give them a coat of satin clear sealing varnish.
