My wooden saddle is way cruder than yours, Jim..

you can’t really see the block of carved wood sitting on the brown steel very well.  
It is covered by a lot of cheap foam.  
And now needs tape to keep it together, the wood has split at the back.  
It has a 22in wheel and has seen quite a few kilometers in the early 80’s.  
And the seat has been re-covered a couple of times.

Out of curiosity, I took it down from a hook in the garage about an hour ago (wow it is a heavy little thing - the frame must weigh a bit too!), pumped up the tire and went for a little ride - it is still comfy, but the seat would now fall apart if it was dropped. Almost made me want to fix it properly out of nostalgia. (But I guess I will set up my 29er with a cut down shadow handle as a higher priority - maybe a game changer?).
