[pink sparkles]

Hi all, my friend had an old wooden rocking chair in his shed he was doing a clear out and thowing it in a skip when i rescued it and now i want to revamp it as it doesnt look great. But i have no idea where to start, i'v never done anything like this before so im looking for any tips on what to do with it? Start by sanding it or??

Any help would be great, i think this piece of furniture could look very well brought back to its former glory :)

Thanks for all your help!
