I think they look great. But how strong are they? That would suck to be pushing up a hill and have them and your teeth break!

As long as they’re made well, they should be plenty strong.
In this video of an interview with Ezra from Fast Boy, he talks about testing his workmanship with a 2×4 (around 3:20).

Hello, I am the maker of these handlebars! Thanks for posting about my work/bikes etc.! @SouthFloridaFixed - they are actually EXTREMELY STRONG! I have had the same pair (very dark brown ones) on my bike for about a year now. I have climbed many hills with them and tested them thoroughly, and although they do flex and bend very slightly, they should not break. The process I use to create them (bent lamination) makes them even stronger than if they were a single piece of wood. Feel free to email me to ask any questions!
