What can I do for my old rocker?

I have recently acquired an antique rocking chair. It was stripped by dipping in a large vat years ago. The top of the rocker back has damage to the veneer. Should I use wood putty and then sand it? Then I wonder what should I use to give the wood some life and what will look good where I put the putty?
