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.

Just sand it with a high grit that won't take the kerf marks out
