 I would venture to suggest that whoever takes it upon himself to make new thrones consider using Poplar as it allows for a longer life and stands up well in foul weather.  It is a little more pricey than plywood but can be carved.  If you rember my portable breakdown chair which is about 5 years old, has never been repaired and is still in very good condition.
