It's meant to be squared, but not as squared as it is, although it is a 
contrast to the basin.

True I wasn't meaning to say anything was impossible in CSG just some 
shapes are harder (for me), I know one can use blobs, lathes and 
isosurfaces in CSG but I'd think a mesh would be the simplest way of 
doing something like this:

Although now you've mentioned it I'm thinking I might be able to improve 
the base using blobs grrr - it was just meant to be a place holder until 
I created a mesh :-)

Isosurfaces are fantastic but I don't think many people use them for 
modelling this type of thing and I'm not sure how I'd get the corners 
with lathes.
