Where could I get a piece of bent plywood
Normal plywood is very rigid because the grain direction of each layer
alternates within it, therefore it won't bend after it's manufactured.
You can get "bendy ply" and then glue/laminate several layers of it into
any reasonable shape, but you'll need plenty of clamps and asuitable
former ...
get some insulation foam - high density underfloor - and carve a former
using saws, wire brush and sanding paper
cover it with clingfilm stretched tight, and then use several layers of
heavy glass cloth and polyester resin to make a fibreglass armresty
Or buy a chair that is the right shape?
