Hi Christian,
I've brought up my preferred seat construction method here before, but am
happy to pass it on again.
I use a type of flexible plywood sometimes called snake ply or wiggle wood
that I've had no problem finding in local lumber yards. I simply make a
female form out of regular plywood, lay a piece of flexible ply in it,
slather indoor/outdoor wood glue on it, lay a second piece on top then
weigh it all down with sand bags. When the glue dries the two flexible
layers of ply can no longer flex and voila, you've got a light and cheap
seat :-) Good luck.
