How do I make a curved prism?  I created the object below by making a prism
and intersecting it with a tube (difference between two cylinders.)

Is there a better way?  I wanted to add a border to this, but I don't know
how to match the curves.  It'd be a lot simpler if I could just make the
prism, add the adornment, then curve the entire object.
