I want to repair a door from a garage into a house. The door has nice (ish) veneer that is peeling off near the bottom. This has been becoming progressively worse over the last 10 to 20 years.

Any suggestions on repairing this?
My first thought was to use a glue to secure the parts coming off and then to simply fill in the rest with some kind of wood filler.
My next thought was to score the veneer with a knife and peel it off straight across and then replace the veneer along the bottom (however high I need to go) and then secure some of the other areas with a glue (a super glue that is thin I suppose).
My final thought was that I could fix any parts that are peeling and perhaps fill in a few areas with a wood filler (I have some things used for architectural restoration) for a few small areas and then simply attach a brass kick plate. I might still want to apply a veneer or at least make sure that the brass plate covers the entire "not restored" area.
I am unclear what finish to apply to the door when I am finished.
The door is just under 30" wide so I can cut the kick plate to fit. Unsure what saw to use to cut the kick plate. Can I cut this on my chop saw that has a carbide blade?

I could cut this with an angle grinder and then grind it to the line.
Any thoughts?
