We use some wax sticks to repair dents/scratches in the floor that could be an option?

I’m assuming wetting the front face (they are concave right now)
I've done this with much smaller and thinner pieces of wood and it's worked fine. Imagine it would work, certainly worth a go I'd say

Doulas fir is a softwood and its hardness is less than half that of Oak or other hardwoods, oiling them will help but they will always show wear in high traffic areas.

If those side panels are each made of a single board (rather than 2 or more glued together) then they will continue to warp, unless perfectly quarter sawn (which they are not...).
I think they are made of multiple pieces but can't quite tell - the DF ply would've been a better choice thereDF is a lovely timber and is great for different applications, but needs to fitted sympathetically or your expectations of it need to be managed!
I worked in an old mill that has been converted into a home, with DF flooring throughout. Looked lovely but totally non-resilient, especially as one of the householders wore stilettos most of the time

sorry if i missed already, but whats the flooring?

Finally (after 5 months) got round to sanding and oiling the Douglas Fir stairs. They were getting completely fucked, big gouges, stains, water marks…
The doorway trims have now warped loads, gotta figure out how to un-warp them before sanding and treating. I’m assuming wetting the front face (they are concave right now) repeatedly for a few days, then bracing with timber, might work?
