Have you tried Tim Manney? He does not appear to be actively selling tools online right now, but does have an email address for those who would like to buy a tool.

I tried one of Tim's chair seat adzes a few years ago, and it worked well. I did not, however, use it extensively enough to hollow a whole chair seat. With these, of course, it is critical to customize the handle to your hand, wrist and elbow, and the height of your bench. I am using a hand forged 18th Century bowl adze I got from the Merchant of Ashby, so that information is not going to help you at all.
