    Thanks folks,
    I've got nothing to lose.
    Got good clamping ability and stability.
    So probably use a hot air gun shooting down a piece of furniture tube.
    Last night I left it clamped and held straight, this morning when I released it, it initially remained straight, but as expected by lunch time it was bent again. Looking optimistic though.

    Beware hot air gun also super dessicates the wood. It will take in moisture quite hungrily once out of your kiln.
