Repeat and Scale and reshape the extrusions in order to obtain a smooth
curve to a point shape in side and top views.
When you need sharper corners use the following method (see images above):
select the desired vertices ( B key one or two times) and then in Edit window,
change the Weight: button to the desired value (up to 10). After that press
Set Weight: button (result at above far right image). To get very stiff
corners, select the desired points, Extrude and move them just a little
bit.
When you've got the definitve shape, go out Edit mode, Tab key, select the
object, then do Alt-C keys to convert the Surface object into a mesh one.
Enter Edit mode, Tab, B key to select the lower verts and H key to hide
them.
Now in Top view, you can easily select and delete some vertices to make
a square shape hole! To reshow the vertices, Alt-H.
