Re: Tell me why not: Carbon fiber bracing.
I think a laminated/sandwiched brace would be easier to work with, and on a flat-top instrument, probably avoid the dust problem. Just using CF seems like it would mean resorting to something like epoxy for fixing it to the top, which would probably not make some folks happy, but it might be an interesting experiment if you've got the thing apart and the material handy. (The rods would seem to be problematic if that's the shape you're working with.)
