Reclaimed cypress lumber tips??

I've used cypress lumber for years, often picking up pieces of scrap from a log home co's scrap pile. I cut/sand/finish cypress the same way I do with fur or pine. It is a soft wood with beautiful grain. For one side painted, if your jointer allows a deep run I'd do that. I have run cypress through my planer taking over 1/16h of an inch per pass. That should be enough to remove the paint, at least that not soaked into the grain. Good luck. Let me know how it works out. I've got access to cypress should you need more.
