Making CF Handlebars?

Hey guys

I figured though the majority of you guys build frames with steel and such, many of you have worked with carbon fiber before. I was wondering if there were any of you who made your own, custom tuned ergonomic handlebars.

I was considering as my next project piecing together (and probably gluing sections together) Styrofoam tubes and using a hot wire cutter and sanding in order to fine tune the feel on my bars. Is it even a worthwhile venture? I read about a lot of people not liking the position they have in the drops even after trying a few different kinds and it just got me wondering why I haven't seen it before. CF really isn't THAT hard to work with, nor is it too expensive anymore.

If you guys have some insights (Tips on getting the tube diameters right?) please let me know!

Thanks,
Jeff
