: I am working on one now. I rough cut some cedar 2x4 on a band saw to match
: the cross section contour of my keester. I then glued them up and used a
: Kutzall wheel on an angle grinder to rough out a tractor seat the same way
: you would if you were making a Joe Greenley style seat out of minicell
: foam. That's as far as I have gotten on that part of the project.

There's only a couple ways to do this, either carve it as above or laminate it from veneer. Carving is probably easier but would be tricky to get the thickness down to the point it's not heavy.
