This process will keep you from ending up with streaks in cypress

The bottom line: If you stain before you seal, you’ll be left with a plank of wood that looks like it has been tie died.
Applying a sealant to the wood BEFORE staining it allows for a consistent and even surface for the stain to settle into and prevents the stain from penetrating into the soft wood. The result is a more consistent color and appearance.

The wood is 100-150 years old minimum, not new growth.
Correct on some boards being planed and some just sanded. I love saw blade marks on old wood.
Below are two pictures of the piece at the top of the second picture. The only prep is that I scrubbed it to clean it. It looks like I'm getting close. Only worry is its a little rough for a table top. Might need to lightly sand then seal.
