I wonder if planing that down would have been more appropriate than sanding - the imperfections look very fiddly to fill well and it will probably just crack if it’s left outside.
Yeah. Now you suggest planning, that probably would have been the right move.
However, it's a lot more effort. I did the other bench in about an hour in total work time - including cleaning with oxygenated bleach, and oiling.
If you like the rustic look just oil it and be done with it.
