to get some advise on how I might possibly
straighten it?




If it IS leather, you might dampen it, lay it on a
piece of plywood
and put another piece of plywood on top with a little
weight. Leave
it until dry. If it has a rim--like the top of a
box--the top piece
of wood should fit inside the rim.

Or you could chuck it in your lathe and spin it
around (grin). Trying
to stay on topic.
