I would first use mild stripper to remove all old paint then I make a mixture of Elmer's glue and water just a touch of Elmer's to make water white and brush it on let dry this causes any splinters and such to rise up and the glue locks them in place then use very fine sand paper to sand, make sure wood is completely dry first though

and I would just add, if you've never done it before, sand with the grain on the seat and the wide part of the back, not against it.
