Have you ever used that carving tool to rough out the seat that looks like a chain saw on a 4 inch wheel. It really saves a lot of time, but cuts very fast, so you have to be careful not to remove too much. Also I drill "depth" holes" at various points to help me remove the right amount of wood. When I get to the bottom of the hole I stop removing wood.
