Hi Ivan,
My favorite way to make seats is to use a flexible type of plywood called
"snakeply". When two layers of snakeply are glued together with ordinary
carpenter's glue it no longer flexes of course, and as long as you've
formed it into a nice lumbar curve you've got yourself a cheap, light and
good looking seat! I like to make a female form to the right shape and
press the layers of snakeply into it with sand bags until the glue sets.
Good luck!
Chris
