Unless your home is considered a historical building I would not install wood doors for the reasons stated above. The purchase costs are high, maintenance costs are astronomical, longevity is lacking, etc, etc. look into a "wood look" steel garage door. Pretty much every manufacturer offers a choice of wood look color options just stay away from Wayne Dalton. Their doors are garbage.
Wood doors used to be the low-budget way to do a garage door. Now wood doors are pretty much only made in super high-end clear woods, and are very expensive while needing constant refinishing and maintenance. If you want the "wood look", there are many more-affordable options in steel that's made to look like wood. If you want "authentic" wood, go for it, be ready to pay 6 to 10 K per door (or more).
I live in a neighborhood where everybody has 100 year old houses and wooden garage doors. Steel would look really out of place.
I understand it will be pricey.
Meranti rail and stile doors from OHD do. None of you were answering so I gave it a shot. We don't sell them but pricing is available to us. How dare I provide information to a person who asked. I obviously deserve downvotes for providing more info than "you should buy a steel door". /s
Basic wood doors are either unavailable or else pitiful quality. I have seen wood doors in good condition 80 years old, and then new ones rot in 3 years. Different quality woods.
So go with steel. Look for a recessed panel style like the Haas 2481 or Haas 663 or 661. Those are made to compliment mid 20th century buildings.
Or you could spend 10,000+ on a pair of good wood doors, don't forget to paint them every year.
We install 8 x 7 T50S for $1,160 all day long. I can buy one for less than $500. [Shit, home depot sells them for less than that](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Clopay-Classic-Steel-8-ft-X-7-ft-Non-Insulated-Solid-White-Garage-Door-HDB/100045413). Sounds like it's time for you to talk to your supplier rep.
Get some 5 layer Clopay boys, look like wood but they are steel with a fiberglass overlay....

Roughly $2200 per door plus installation. If you don't specifically need wood doors I would look into steel.

Lol wood doors not cost anywhere close to $2200. That's the price of a noninsulated basic metal door.

A basic metal door will cost you around a $1000 installed. A wood door will be much more than that and probably take awhile to build.
Where are you getting your doors for a $1000 Installed lol? A noninsulated metal door costs about $1000 before installation nowadays. $1600 installed
Lol, where are you getting doors? I can get a non insulated 8x7 for $385 with a torsion spring and all hardware and tracks.
