Ky,can you heat it just enough to get the twist out?I do it on mine all the time.Matter of fact,I've never had a piece that did'nt need some un-twisting.I clamp the stave down,tighten a Jorgenson clamp above the area to work.Hang a light weight on the Jor.clamp.Spread a little veg.oil on the area I'm heating,then heat with a heatgun till the twist comes out.Just be careful not to over -do,as the wood may check,if you go too far. Again,let me stress,this is only for small to medium twists,but I have removed 90 degrees of twist with only minor checking.Nothing that a little super glue would'nt fix. Hope this helps. God Bless
