Did I include info about plastic cutting boards in there? We gut those up and use them to reinforce the crossguards. Also, if you don't have a complete duct-tape skin on it, the foam will begin to deteriorate fairly quickly.

If they were 1/2 inch poplar dowels you shouldn't have problems, but if broomsticks work, go for it. I can post a few pics when I get home.
