Bob & List, This exemplifies the need for well grounded knowlege in wood and wood-working. My Solution would be to make micro-fine cuts on the underside fill the kerfs with glue, (hide glue would be my preference. Or Plastic resin glue.) Bind the whole thing up in a large press w/a slight reverse warp. Then pray. If it doesn't spring back to it's original configuration then, simply get a good "touch-up" guy to blend where the cuts were. Generally, a warp is a warp, is a warp and anything short of Nuclear intervention will not get rid of it. Regards, Joe Garrett, (Oregon)
