How to unwarp timber top of cabinet?

[Kaypee]

I have been given an antique highboy (family heirloom) to refurbish and revarnish.  I am confident of obtaining a good finish. However, I have a problem with top of the cabinet. The timber top, which measures approximately 100 x 40 x 8mm is seriously warped and I really want to preserve it..............can I wet it thoroughly and weight it flat with bricks or must I use (say) steam which I have no easy access to? Incidently, I am confident I can repair the split in the side panel ( see image 1).

Additionally, can you tell me where I can access the very small turned 'feet' shown in image 3.

Thanks Nailbag..............I'll probably contact the local Men's Shed and see if they can help with the turned 'feet'.

Thanks Dave, for the hints re the wetting the wood down. I shall attempt it in the near future

Noyade.....the mention of the Men's shed appears a great idea.
