Seat Coopered and Laid Out

I have now coopered and laid out the seat. I coopered the seat by beveling the five boards like this, /\ \/ \/ /\, each 'V' representing where two boards meet. The bevels are 3 degrees. The result is as the boards are drawn together they form a shallow 'U' shape. This shape will be accentuated when I scoop out the seat.

Scott Morrison has a right-tilting Delta table saw, but my SawStop tilts left, so I had to place my fence on the opposite side as Scott did in order to use his 4 3/8 in. width measurement for the seat boards.

I found that when it came to laying out the seat outline and the border for the scooped area the template was a little wider than the five boards. As a result I may want to add a 1/16 in to the board width next time. The outer two boards can be about 3/4 in. shorter because of the shape of the seat template.

I have a couple borer holes in the back of the left board, and one other in another place, for which I will have to figure out a solution. I will probably fill them with walnut sawdust impregnated epoxy to match the wood.
