For the arm:
1. Remove original metal hardware (looks like one screw)
2. Drill holes where the screw tore out. Hopefully it won't take larger than a 3/8" hole. Glue appropriate woodworker's dowel pin in the hole.
3. After the glue has set, cut off the protruding dowel flush.
4. Drill a small pilot hole in the dowel.
5. Re-secure the original mounting screw by screwing it into the dowel.
The repair will be as strong as the original and it will be invisible.

My front porch rocker somehow got broken after the painters came :/. All the spokes and arm rest have been torn out and the rocker is certainly not safe to sit on. I am really not sure how to go about fixing this without taking the whole thing apart.
For the arm rest I figured I could put a small bracing piece of wood on the top and bottom.
The remaining spokes and seat I am at a loss as to how to fix them. It may not be very obvious from the picture but where the screws were attached the spokes have completely split the wood.
Is there any easy way to fix this?
