First remove all paint or varnish either by sanding or chemical paint remover.Then see what needs repairing eg arm rocker etc. Try to match up the existing timber with your new stock. Bring piece to your local timber merchant. You may be lucky and get some ends and cut-offs. After that it is a matter of copying. Hopefully you will have a good half of chair to work off. Stain, if required, the finished product to give you an even finish. Finish of with numerous coats of polyurethane varnish with a light sanding between coats.
Great winter project and good luck.
