Very cool. Did you start with a solid piece or what? What are the plans for it?

1.5mm balsa over a 6 x 3mm balsa frame.
Next mission is to find some foam and shape it. Hopefully I can find something a bit firmer than original seat foam.

I got my foam at an upholstery shop. I used 3 inch dark grey foam...I think the color is a density indicator, at least in the catalog he used. It's very high density foam, and is really comfortable. The shop had samples of all the different densities He uses, and I put them on a wooden stool he had there. The upholsterer really thought I picked too dense a foam, but it wasn't. With a thin cushion like yours, you'll be glad you did.

Very cool! That looks like you bought it from the factory!!! Are the ribs in the bottom from the seat pan or are those something you added? Again, nice work, bro!
