Although I personally am not a woodworker.
I had a new seat back for my box saloon made by my father who was a builder of boats.
He made a multi layer sandwich of ply using Cascamite glue which gives plenty of working time but once stuck is truly permanent and waterproof.
He made a wood jig on a very thick piece of wood to make the bends and clamp to. One thing of note, where it touched the jig he put polythene so it would not stick to it.
Once the whole thing was assembled he then wiped off any excess glue with a damp cloth.
It was left overnight, next day removed from the the jig, it never moved or sprung.
If I remember correctly he used 4 x 1mm Bruynzeel ply to make it with.
35 years later it is still in the car and doing good service.
Hope this is of some use .
