Hi Crowder,
I restored my Sequoia this summer. Very similar color to yours I think. I tried at one point to post a write-up but I ended up getting blocked from the site when I attempted to upload a bunch of the pics for some unknown reason. [This same thing happened about two years ago, too.] It was weeks and weeks before I magically regained access one day, so I've decided to not try to upload pictures any more.
Instead, here is a link [https://www.flickr.com/gp/ddb_dyt/3w4ij4] to my Flickr album with a bunch of pics of the restore. No write-up. Good luck and have fun with your restore.

Edit: Sorry Crowder, I got sidetracked while responding to your post earlier. I meant to tell you that I sanded all the wood on mine. It's not too difficult to completely disassemble all pieces and sand them individually. The top surfaces were pretty badly weathered and took a bit more sanding.
