Josh,
If you have a lathe, simply put a piece of foam on a lathe and then use files, shapers, coarse and fine sandpaper to achieve the shape that you want.

If you don't have a lathe, you can do the same thing with an electric drill. Simply put a threaded bolt into the end of a drill, put on a nut and washer, slip on a piece of eva, another washer and nut and go at the shaping.

If you have someone to help, you can have someone else hold the drill, or you can clamp the drill into a vice, or you can tape various grits of sand paper to a table and then simply manuever the drill around the table to shape the fore grip -by use of the spinning drill and eva.

Normally, this will only take a couple of minutes to achieve the result that you want.

If you want to trim the foam to a particular size, simply take a sharp knife and - while the foam is spinning, use the knife to trim to size.

Take care
REW

I used a small saw and cut the EVA foam to the desired length then used DryWall Screen and varying grits of sandpaper to get eh desired feel and shape
