How and what to seal cracks in the wooden facade during restoration?

There is an old country house. First I wanted to finish the house siding. But here is a great desire to restore the old. Log house, covered with clapboard. A test cleaning showed that all this time the facade has been painted once(!) and is easily removable. The linings, as far as I know, are cedar.

Well, I really want to keep the platbands. But the wood is cracked because of age. Where the joints parted. I think all should be sanded. Then cover with Tikkurila.

Do I need a primer? How and what to seal the cracks?
