WIP Oat Container

My almost 17 year old came up with the idea for this design and though I did not get it exactly how he suggested, I still like the overall outcome.  Again, I'm still working on the top part of this mystery object, but wanted to share this base with you.  The creative process is moving forward... now I just hope it will come to a conclusion.  

Did I mention that I cannot stand oatmeal?

Here is the second base that I made.  I showed you the first base earlier, but did not yet tell you what these will be.  Besides the fact that I like to drag these things out and tease you a bit... I honestly have not yet figured out how I am going to do the second half of these.  I have lots of ideas bouncing around, and will likely do these in a series of tests.  I did not want to hold up progress, however, and so I at least am finishing the bottom part of these.  

Any guesses yet?
