It kind of depends on what sort of non-flatness you are trying to get.

If you want something that is kind of broadly curved, the technique above using a sweep to build a slightly curved cutting surface can work pretty easily, and that method of crossing curves lets you get that shape just by drawing 2 curves.

If you wanted something that had a kind of intentional lumpyness around each finger grip then something that's less uniform like that would become more into the sub-d type territory.
