Woodworkers; I need some advice

I made a game table for my son and having warping issues. I am going to replace it. Here is my question: I have 100+ year old barn boards. My plan is to use a planer; then fill in wormholes with melted crayons and of course use several layers of polyurethane and stain. Will aged boards still warp in a new environment?

grandpa here..just built kitchen cabinets from old barn wood...
he stacked ..so bug bomb could go thru
he planed to size....keeping the wormholes..stained and sealed before installing...

no shrinkage or warping happened..

@maxeen awesome. I am taking notes. My guess is my lack of experience will leave me with less success then grandpa. Thank you. 🙂
