Very interesting and valuable information. But I'm not sure it's particularly
relavent to my situation.

If it is warped, simply putting under great pressure (I have a few thousand
pounds of red bricks at hand), it's probably not pertinent *which* way it's
warped.

Placed on small square lumber and weighted, should give some good results.

You can press it flat all you want but unless you change either the
moisture content back to equilibrium at the time it was milled and
(presumably) flat or, if as noted previously, it was milled while not in
an equilibrium moisture content where it now is it will just return to
the present shape again.

If you can restrain it sufficiently, you _may_ be able to hold it in place.
