Stain it before you put it up. Set up sawhorses in the garage, and stain the faces first for the whole room. The stain will also raise grain, so plan for a light sanding and then a light recoating. You also may want to consider a sealer, as the ceiling will be hard to keep clean... dust, cobwebs etc.
Just some thoughts.... good luck. What kind of wood? If you are interested in a somewhat obscure and time consuming but fabulous old fashioned finish, drop me a line.
