Wenonah used a bucket seat on most Jensens, but if you have a cedar
strip, it was probably a one off (or a design exercise). I understand
he kicked out a bunch of boats in his life.

The bucket you can buy from Wenonah, if you really want to make it
yourself, buy one and pull a mold off it.

Probably nothing wrong with using a regular old cane seat, you can buy
them anywhere. Make your own, if you know how. I make a seat like a
cane, but I use nylon webbing, just because I have had crappy luck
working with cane.

What kind of seat do you want? Anything beyond a kneeling thwart or a
Bob Foote saddle would work. Depends on whether you'll be cruising or
racing or gunkholing.
