First I plan each single laminated board, both sides, very carefully with a slightly hollowed blade, then I bent them all in the desired shape (a litle more concave, to compensate the ammount of springback). Then I glue them up using many clamps.. And of course the final result depends on what wood you use and the color of the dried glue. Good luck with your chair....
