Thanks again, folks. I do have good news to report: the maple flattened to pre-flood condition. This truly was amazing to see. Yesterday when I clamped the warped "buckle" flat, the rest of the plate--which was free to move--twisted wildly. I was certain these sets were goners. This morning, though, they were flat and straight again. Which process would have been fun to watch happen (oh for a time-lapse camera), but sleeping was much more rewarding.
So things are looking up. Be looking for a post-flood sale in future,
Steve
