Does dry wood furniture need to be treated before staining?

I’m getting ready to finish an old outdoor glider/bench. The wood is VERY dry. Should I rub this down with some kind of furniture oil before trying to stain it? The wood is so dry it is starting to crack a little in some places, and the surfaces are kind of textured.

Order of task.
1. Sand and fill/repair as necessary
2. Stain
3. Oil or apply other protective coat
