Default Straighten a slightly warped top?

I think I may have to take option 3. There is no way to separate it
from the box. I should say a better description would be twist. If
you look at it from the front, lining up the front side as your
"horizon", the left side front corner of the top sticks up about 1/8".
It's just that the rest of it came out sooooo nice, it's buggin' the
heck out of me.

So, is this twist keeping the lid from closing completely? If yes, yea, that
stinks. For some reason I was envisioning just being able to shave off the
high spot but you also have a low spot where the lid meets the box I
presume.


I doubt any cave man like approach would do much good either. (Soak in water
and put a cinder block or two on top and let sit and air dry for a couple of
weeks)
