In Response To: Choosing a seat (Bruce)

I tried the Happy Bottom seat, but was not pleased and ended up giving it away. It didn't offer much in the way of thigh support. I was considering the Creature Comfort seat, but I never got around to trying one before making my own. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be too many readily available commercial alternatives. No way to reshape your carved seat to suit you?

: I'm not happy with the seat I carved out of closed cell foam and am thinking

: creature comfort or something else. I'm also concerned about a seat that
: is too thick which will raise the c.g. and reduce the stability.
