Ok, here is a picture of what I did. Is this like what you want? All I did was delete the top faces, then extrude downward as explaned above. I actually took the top portion, duplicated it, then flipped it upside down and combined/merged vertices so that the top of the object was the same as the bottom. I did the hash (#) design with simple cubes.

Yer, somthing like that. Just a little more smooth and with a bit more detial. Instead of having that # shape im going to try more of a knot effect.

Well, I have decided to go a different way with this. I have my Yin shape and I was going to bevel plus it then hollow it out and have my Celtic knot's and weaving in the hollowed section (like Darkware but less industrial). The problem i'm having is that it won't let me bevel plus the curve.

I have uploaded it so you can have a look and see what I am doing wrong.

Cheers for all your help so far!

Well, I though I would give you guys an update (if your still interested that is).

I have the shape cut out but there is something strange going on that I can't explain. I have uploaded the .mb file for you to have a look at your lesure and also a screen shot to show you. I can't see any reason why it is doing it. Ho Hum
