Cypress often displays beautiful patterns of grain and different shades of brown, reds and even sometimes purple; here’s a recent example.
The board that yielded these slats was air-dried and had a few small knots in it, which adds a bit of character to the piece. I like it. (See this post for a pic of the same wood in the rough.) This will be the top for a No. 124 35″ Bench.
The other parts of the frame and the table legs that need to be glued-up appear at the top of the picture.
Sorry for the low res. This is an iPhone photo shot in less-than-optimal light but I hope it suggests how sweet cypress can look!
