Make, your shape out of a thin but strong peice of metal, like a cookie cutter, sharpen the cutting edge, then get a hardwood block and make a notch or grove that the metal cutter will fit in. Epoxy the cutter into the wood. I will post a pic of a damsel fly foam body cutter in a few minutes

I found an old lamp that had brass tubes on it. I used those and an old antenna from a radio I took apart to cut out round foam dowels. I see J.Stockard has some foam cutters on sale right now. Have a look you might get a bit more info. The cutters come with a thick peice of rubber to press on
