First Restoration Project - Need Advice on How to Repair Sanders Bentwood Chairs

Hi! I am hoping to get some advice on how to best approach restoring these Mid Century Sanders Bentwood chairs (5 in total). The first part I want to tackle is restoring the wooden frames. I’d like to maintain as much of the original finish on the piece as possible. I believe the piece is veneered but not sure what type of wood it is. Eventually, I want to re-upholster them.

What are the best products to spot repair the chairs legs and scratches? Or do they need a full strip? If so, what products/ process would you recommend? I am a complete beginner and have been researching but it’s leaving me more confused 🙃

Any tips/ advice/ suggestions are appreciated! Thanks
