Looks to me like it's complicated. Best attempt was to construct a
triangular fillet, then on the visible surface to draw a curved datum going
across it, then to pattern the curve along the length of the fillet, then to
create a cut to sweep along the curve, then to ref pattern the cut along the
fillet.

It works, but it looks too regular. I would have liked it to look more
realistic.
