I'd recommend Accoya. Very rot resistant, very stable, and quite easy to work with.

Not dowels but I would recommend the festool domino 700. I've used been using it with doors for over a year and I'm very happy with it

Paint finish. Ben Moore primer and aura finish paint

Ive used Accoya on a few door jobs that have high exposure and I have been really happy with it. It is really stable and machines easily as well. Customers really like to hear about the 50 year rot...
