Step 2 Safety First!

You don't have to do this but I guarantee that you want to. Grab your reciprocating saw and cut off any loose chunks of wood. Unless you want them to break off, of course. Next, take a palm sander and smooth the edges and any corners out there so when this thing falls over and lands on you it doesn't go through your foot. It'll still hurt, but the damage will be less permanent. This is also a handy way to get rid of any wiggly bits the saw couldn't get to.
