[Sean Korb]

I found someone that announced they were prototyping these seats in carbon

surprised

     The big oval punch&flare dies are pricey but if you are hand making
     seats I don't know how else you could get that effect.A  A custom
     flaring tool would be best, and though I could 3-D print one I'm not
     sure how to translate that into tooled steel without a ton of cash.
     Still, handmade seats sound kind of fun.
