Hmm, what are those things called that look like rounded-off cubes?
Super-something?

Well, anyway, if you can use those in CSG, then your problem is solved:
Add a tilted one to a straight one, cut off the top at an angle, and
subtract a smaller version from it to make it hollow inside.

Alternatively, you can get the same effect using boxes, cylinders, and
spheres. Your CSG code will be a bit more complex, though.
