The seat and back appear to be two pieces, and about 3/4 to 1 inch thick.

Blanks for them could be made by matching up thick "strips" in the same order as the layout of strips on the deck. The back of the seat would be glued up against a curved form and the edges of the blocks sanded off to give a smooth curve. The seat itself could just be carved out and the edges rounded.

I'd be interested in hearing form the builder about how it was done. The concept and quality of the work is top notch.
