Default I'm new to the group - wood bending question

I'm about to try to make a bent elm "bucket seat" like this:
http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...%3Den%26sa%3DN
I have the choice of standing timber or air dried unsawn log as the
source of my wood.
Which is best?
How dry does it need to be before I can thickness plane it to 3/8"?
How hard will it be to bend to roughly 9" radius?
Any suggestions???

Thanks.
